La Guiannee New Year's Eve at Fort de Chartres

The Prairie du Rocher La Guiannee visits the site to play period music and sing.

Les Amis du Fort de Chartres volunteer host will be in the Fort's guard room from 7pm-9pm to greet the La Guiannee Singers.

In a traditional celebration dating back to 1722, the La Guiannee singers will visit houses and Fort de Chartres in the early French town of Prairie du Rocher and sing for the residents. As part of the tradition, the residents provide refreshments for the singers at each stop. It is cosponsored by Les Amis du Fort de Chartre, Fort de Chartres State Historic Site, and the Prairie du Rocher La Guiannee Society.
