On Sunday, July 13, 2008 from noon to 6pm 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. New this year, Bastille Day on 60th Street will include a touch of luxury with a theme of “Beauty and Personal Care." At booths throughout the festival, you will be able to experience “l’art de la beauté” with massages, mini facials, and hair and skin care treatments. Just relax and let yourself be pampered! Everyone is invited to come and share in the Bastille Day on 60th Street festivities and experience le joie de vivre à New York!
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 (between Madison and Park Avenues) 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—andoh-la-la, Can-Can dancers.
Allons enfants!
Don't forget to bring the kids! Family-friendly fun abounds at Bastille Day on 60th Street. 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 FIAFLanguage Center will all help burn off the extra calories from the delicious pommes-fritesand authentic Belgian Waffles.
Vive la France!
