Of course, the real date of Bastille Day is le quatorze juillet (July 14) but you'll need to wait for Saturday to stroll the "French Quarter for a Day" that you will find in Tenleytown, just one day later, on July 15.
Répondez, s'il vous plaît to the invitation below from Tenleytown Main Street:
Fessenden Park becomes Tenleytown's own little "French Quarter" as Tenleytown Main Street celebrates Bastille Day. Enjoy quiche and profiteroles, play the classic lawn game pétanque, listen to live music by accordionist Russell Wilson, and take part in French-themed crafts. Play Bastille Day Trivia for a chance to win a gift set from Verified Wines & Fine Spirits or Tenleytown Main Street.
Enjoy activities for the whole family, such as:
- Live Accordion Music with Russell Wilson
- Sample quiches from Le Chat Noir and profiteroles from Matisse
- Enjoy a FREE French themed spirits tasting at Verified Wines & Fine Spirits
- Learn how to play pétanque and play other lawn games
- Participate in family-friendly craft activities: coloring, beading, temporary tattoos
- Plant a sunflower to take home with you, and add a bit of the French country side to your windowsill
- Make your own lavender sachet
Tickets are just $20; one child ticket (ages 10 and under) included free with a paid adult. Additional child tickets are $5/child. Tickets include all food, beverage, and activities.
