FCF France is a national federation that brings together organisations involved in local festivals and popular culture. Its structure includes member organisations, regional or departmental federations, and a national federation, supported by local groups across France and overseas. The federation helps its members strengthen their activities and manage practical challenges through negotiated benefits, legal support, heritage promotion, and training for volunteers. It also provides guidance on administrative and legal matters and works with partners, including on benefits for member organisations.

Membership is annual and generally costs €110, with rates varying by region or department. Organisations can join through a local federation, by submitting an application, or through the online form. FCF France also publishes Festi, a national magazine featuring festival news, interviews, regional events, practical information, and legal and administrative updates. Its online shop offers federation-branded items such as medals, pins, bags, and volunteer awards, alongside membership. Through its news and partnerships, FCF France promotes solidarity, cultural life, and a connected network for festive associations.
