This year’s Bishop Arts Bastille Day celebrations will not include the same scale of previous Bastille on Bishop Block parties.
Due to FIFA-related city restrictions, the annual celebration will include the Bishop Bastille Walk on Tuesday, July 14 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The passport-style evening will be filled with roaming Bastille-inspired characters, photo spots and small activations, according to the event website. Advanced tickets for the walk start at $30, with tickets available for $40 on Tuesday.
Check-in will be at Simply Bella to receive a passport, map and wine glass for the event.
Each participating stop along the stroll will stamp the passport, with completed passports receiving an extra entry into a drawing for the Grand Bishop Bastille Prize that features gift cards and prizes from local businesses. Offerings at each spot vary from including discounts, raffles, wine and French-inspired drinks or snacks.
Additionally, attendees are encouraged to come dressed for the occasion for the costume contest to show off their best French, revolutionary, romantic, artistic or Bastille-inspired look. The winner will receive a Bishop Bastille Basket with items from local shops.
Correction/Clarification: A previous version of this article stated that the block part would not take place. The article has been updated to clarify that the block party would not be at the same scale as past celebrations.
