Each year French people celebrate Bastille Day ou le 14 juillet, on July 14th. Their National Holiday celebrates the moment when the French people stormed the Bastille prison in 1789 in order to get gun powder. This revolt is considered a major step towards the following events leading to the French Revolution. In France, la fête nationale is celebrated everywhere through numerous balls, live music, games, fireworks and a big parade on the Champs Elysées in Paris.
Join us at the Alliance Française for our annual celebration, featuring live music, a vendors market, traditional French food, entertainment for the whole family and some birthday surprises as we celebrate our 50th anniversary as a non profit!
