The BASTILLE DAY LOS ANGELES FESTIVAL 2010 promotes the French heritage and culture, and celebrates the undying ties between French and American citizens. In France, Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789, marking the beginning of the French revolution.
In its ninth year, this event promises to be one of the city’s best cultural events with all-day festivities. Throughout the day, attendees experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of France right in their own backyard. They thrive on French ‘joie de vivre ‘, play the famous game of pétanque, sample food and wine from France, enjoy spectacular live entertainment, dance, or just sit back and relax while having a French-style ‘open air picnic’.
French organizations and city officials have supported the Bastille Day Festival for the past eight years, and encouraged Angelenos to participate in the event since it helps foster a better understanding among citizens of both French and American cultures.
The gorgeous Elysian Park — Bastille Day Los Angeles Festival venue — is the city’s oldest public park and is home to numerous historic sites. It was once home to the Yang-Na Indian village and dates back to Native American history.
