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!
