Paris is home to thousands of expats as well as native Parisians. Whether you\u2019ve just moved to the city, or have been here for years and consider yourself to be almost Parisian, there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t continue your favourite traditions from back home. There are lots of different events and ways to meet with other expats in Paris<\/strong>.
\n <\/p>\n

Ireland<\/h2>\n

 
\nThere are lots of places you can go on St Patrick\u2019s day<\/strong> (17th March) in Paris. There\u2019s wide range of Irish pubs which will be celebrating with live music and parties. Try Corcoran\u2019s Saint Michel<\/strong><\/a>, on Rue Saint-Andr\u00e9 des Arts or O\u2019Sullivans Grands Boulevards<\/strong><\/a> on Boulevard Montmartre for a fun and lively evening.
\n 
\nThe Irish Cultural Centre<\/strong><\/a>, on rue des Irlandais, is another good place to go. It will be hosting a St Patrick\u2019s Family Day, with music, magic and more! They also offer a range of events throughout the year, which is a great way to meet other expats.
\n 
\n\"Paris
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

Canada<\/h2>\n

 
\nParis has a great selection of traditional Canadian bars which will be great for celebrating Canada Day<\/strong> (1st July) and Thanksgiving<\/strong> (8th October). Try visiting The Moose<\/strong><\/a> on rue des Quatre Vents, or The Great Canadian<\/strong><\/a> on the left bank on Quai des Grands Augustins, both in the 6th district, for an authentic Canadian experience. You can find all sorts of Canadian specialties here including the famous Canadian poutine. They also broadcast lots of North American sport here, so it\u2019s a great place to watch a game with your fellow Canadians!
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

Britain<\/h2>\n

 
\nDue to the large number of anglophones in Paris, there are many traditional English pubs located in the city. This is a great way to celebrate St George\u2019s Day<\/strong> (23rd April), or just to meet some other English expats. We recommend trying the Sir Winston<\/strong><\/a>, rue de Presbourg 75016. It doesn\u2019t get more British than this! It\u2019s one of the oldest pubs in Paris and is known for its whisky and cocktails! It is open all day: from traditional English brunch to evening drinks.
\n 
\nAnother popular British celebration is Guy Fawkes night<\/strong>, on 5th November. It is pretty much unheard of in France, and so unfortunately there are no public firework displays. But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t celebrate! For a fun family day out, why don\u2019t you try the annual firework and bonfire display at Disneyland<\/strong><\/a>? It will take place on the 7th, 9th and 12th of November 2018, and you\u2019ll be able to meet lots of other English families there too. For more family fun, we recommend going on an Easter egg hunt<\/strong>! You\u2019ll find them all over the city over the Easter weekend, including Bercy village and Champs de Mars.
\n 
\n\"Paris
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

Australia<\/h2>\n

 
\nFor some authentic Australian cuisine, we recommend Caf\u00e9 Oz<\/strong><\/a>: a bar where you can listen to live music, watch Australian sports and enjoy a selection of Australian inspired food and drink. Another place worth trying is Holybelly Cafe<\/strong><\/a> in the 10th district. It describes itself as a Melbourne style cafe and is an ideal place to meet some fellow expats! These would both be good places to go for Australia Day<\/strong> (26th January).
\n 
\nThe Australian Embassy<\/strong><\/a> offers lots of exhibitions and events, which would be a great way to learn more about the culture and meet some more expats.
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

USA<\/h2>\n

 
\nTwo of the biggest events in the American calendar are Independence Day<\/strong> (4th July) and Thanksgiving<\/strong>, which will take place of 22nd November this year. There are lots of American bars and restaurants, such as the Hard Rock Cafe<\/strong><\/a> and the Breakfast in America<\/strong> diner<\/a>, which will be hosting various events for these two holidays.
\n 
\nAnother great American place to visit is the legendary Harry\u2019s New York Bar<\/strong><\/a> in the 2nd district. Said to be the birthplace of many popular cocktails, it has welcomed many famous faces and was once frequented by Ernest Hemingway and Ian Fleming. This would be the ideal place to celebrate or even just to visit on a regular day. Either way, it\u2019s the perfect place for American expats! Another way to meet expats is through the American Church in Paris<\/strong><\/a>. It offers lots of social events and activities all year round, as well as weekly church services.
\n 
\n\"Paris
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

Brazil<\/h2>\n

2018 is a great year for Brazilians in Paris, as the Brazilian Film Festival in Paris<\/strong><\/a> will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. It will take place from 3rd to 10th April at the Arlequin cinema on rue de Rennes 75006. They will be showing a selection of old and new films from the last 20 years. Great for film lovers!
\n 
\nThe annual Tropical Carnival<\/strong><\/a> will be coming to Paris at the beginning of July. With lots of colour and music and dancing, this carnival promises to be great fun and to rival that of Rio de Janeiro!
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

China<\/h2>\n

 
\nChinese New Year<\/strong> falls on 16th February this year and there are plenty of ways to celebrate. 2018 is the year of the dog. Parades<\/a> will be held across the city and there will be lots of events throughout the month. Le Marais<\/strong> is holding a whole week of cultural events, including workshops, concerts and exhibitions from 12-17th February.
\n 
\nThe biggest parade will be held in Paris\u2019 Chinatown<\/strong>, in the 13th district, on Sunday 25th February, starting at avenue d\u2019Ivry. Hundreds of visitors will line the streets to see dancing dragons and lions, traditional Chinese costumes, music and more. It promises to be a fun, colourful event \u2013 the perfect way to welcome the new year!

Japan<\/h2>\n

 
\nThe Japan Expo<\/strong><\/a> is a big festival celebrating all aspects of Japanese culture. From manga to martial arts, this place has everything. It even offers calligraphy and origami workshops, as well as traditional music and theatre displays. It will be held between 5-8th of July at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre<\/strong>.
\n 
\nThe Maison de la culture du Japon \u00e0 Paris<\/strong><\/a> offers cultural Japanese events all year round, with exhibitions, cinemas and tea ceremonies. Here you can also take cooking classes and language courses to discover more about Japanese culture
\n 
\n 
\nAs you can see, Paris is a very international city! Whatever your nationality, there are lots of things to do and ways to celebrate your favourite holidays<\/strong> and festivals from back home, but with a Parisian twist. Are you tempted to try any of these expat events and places? It\u2019s a great way to remind you of home and make friends with other expats in Paris<\/strong> just like you!
