New France once stretched from the St. Lawrence to New Orleans. As borders shifted and the US and Canada formed, French communities grew isolated, yet their vibrant cultures endured. Through story, song, and "Creole Fiddle," you’ll explore this rich history and its distinctive musical traditions. Discover the French dialects still spoken today and see how Illinois Creole links language and culture across the heart of North America.
