Everyone is invited to be French for a day! Experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of France right in your own backyard at New York’s “Street Fair with French Flair,” Bastille Day on 60th Street.
Bastille Day on 60th Street still includes all the popular favorites that thousands of visitors look forward to each summer: Sample the cuisine of France and other French-speaking countries, browse the French-themed market stalls, enjoy the music by DJ Indaloh, and dance in the street in our French-style “bal-musette.” Throughout the afternoon, live performers will be appearing on the festival-stage (betw Madison & Park Aves.) and this year, we are very pleased to be presenting a wonderful New Orleans-style Gospel Choir as well as some emerging, young, and talented French and francophone musicians and singers—and oh-la-la, Can-Can dancers.
Family-friendly fun abounds at Bastille Day on 60th Street with sports-based activities with a French twist including a stationary Tour de France Bike Race provided by New York Health and Racquet Club, and pétanque, along with arts & crafts activities provided by the FIAF Language Center will all help burn off the extra calories from the delicious pommes-frites and authentic Belgian Waffles.
A raffle, with drawings for various prizes will be held throughout the day, with the Grand Prize of a pair of U.S.–Paris round-trip tickets courtesy of American Airlines.
