Bastille Day on 60th Street
Bonjour, New York! On Sunday, July 15, 2012,
New Yorkers celebrate French culture
at NYC’s annual three-block fête on 60th Street
from 12-5pm!
Each year, Bastille Day on 60th Street
brings the best of France to New York for
an afternoon of activities and delights for the entire family. Kids can
play a round
of pétanque or get their faces painted at
the Kids Corner booth. From tasting
delicious treats to listening to music at our day-long concert,
everyone will enjoy
the myriad attractions provided by artists and artisans from various
regions
of France, as well as other French-speaking countries.
For more than ten years, Bastille Day on 60th
Street has been the largest
public celebration of the historic friendship between France and the
United States
commemorating France’s own Independence Day on July 14, 1789.
Shop the French-themed market stalls, try your luck at the raffle, and
stop by
the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) at 22 East 60th Street
for wine
and cheese tastings. Vive la France!
Entrance to Bastille Day on 60th Street is free and open to the public!
