Bastille day 2026
Bastille Day is coming! Each year French people celebrate Bastille Day or le 14 juillet, on July 14th. This 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 on Tuesday, July 14th from 5 to 8pm. We invite the community to enjoy live music, traditional French food, and entertainment for the whole family!
