The faire la fête of the summer will take over the streets of Bishop Arts this July for the 14th annual Bastille on Bishop celebration.
And, for a limited time, drink tickets are available for an early-bird 30% off discount. The $25 ticket will include a commemorative wine glass and three tokens that can be redeemed for beer or wine.
Bastille on Bishop will return July 14 and run from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Wine, dancing, live music and food and drink booths will transform Bishop Arts into Dallas’s own Champs-Élysées. Black and white stripes and berets are encouraged, but not required.
Attending the festival is free if the attendee does not plan on drinking alcohol.
Bastille Day is a French National Day that commemorates the storming of the Bastille, one of the early sparks of the French Revolution.
While it may seem random that neighborhood organization Go Oak Cliff hosts a celebration in honor of the French national holiday, Oak Cliff has deep roots in French culture.
