Bastille Day on 60th Street
Posted by Scott on July 8th, 2008“Join FIAF for our annual three-block fête on 60th Street from Fifth to Lexington Avenues that the entire family will enjoy. Bastille Day brims with the sights, sounds and flavors of French culture. Sample the cuisine of France and French-speaking countries and share this wonderful food with the French-American community at our picnic tables en plein air. Artisans will sell merchandise inspired by France’s diverse regions, while you listen to live music and revel with fellow francophiles.”
