  Step into one of the most distinctive and rarely experienced traditions in California Masonry.
  Hosted by La Parfaite Union No. 17, the historic French Lodge founded in 1851, this annual Banquet de la Saint-Jean is not simply a dinner, but a fully realized ritual experience preserved across generations.
  
  Conducted in both French and English, the evening follows the formal French festive board tradition, a ceremonial form of dining that unites symbolism, fellowship, and ritual in a way few lodges still practice today.
  
  This is a rare opportunity to take part in a living tradition that has been carried forward for over a century and a half, one that most Masons, even after a lifetime in the Craft, will never encounter.
  
  The evening includes:
  
  A multi-course formal dinner
  Fine French wines and traditional toasts
  A structured ceremonial festive board in the French Red Lodge style
  The Chain of Union, closing the evening in true fraternal form
  This event is open to all Masons, Entered Apprentices, Fellow Crafts, and Master Masons alike.
