A key feature is Feria dance music, drinking sangria and the traditional dress is a white shirt with a red scarf.
The Feria party will take place at the Southern Food Court inside Canberra Stadium starting when gates open at 2PM.
The Feria Party will feature Sangria at the Slab Bar and entertainment from the French community including DJ Dr Mendez and the ‘Bandas’ Canberra Brass Orchestra.
Lebanese Community entertainment will be provided by Zaffe traditional drumming group.
The Pool A match between France and Lebanon is a crucial match for both teams and the victor is likely to progress to the quarter finals in Hamilton New Zealand. Tournament heavyweights Australia and England are also in Pool A and the top 3 of 4 teams will progress to the quarter finals.
The match is an intriguing one as traditional Rugby League power France is ranked 5th in the world but Lebanon have 7 NRL stars available including Parramatta’s Tim Mannah, South Sydney’s Robbie Farah, Canterbury Bankstown’s Michael Lichaa and Parramatta’s Mitchell Moses.
