La Fête Française
You don’t have to live in France to celebrate Bastille Day, the Gallic version of Independence Day. No one in Boston knows this better than the French Cultural Center in the Back Bay, which hosts the annual Bastille Day Block Party outside its doors on Marlborough Street on July 13 from 6–11 p.m. Revel in French food, drink and music from Malian singer/songwriter Sidi Touré and the multigenerational Haitian group Lakou Mizik with 2,000 of your fellow Francophiles.
