Celebrating Bastille Day (fête nationale ou 14 Juillet)

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM)'s Bastille Day celebration. It was a very fun event and a great way for families to get some French culture for the day. The museum had performances by French bands/singers, special presentations on French instruments/music, a sketching class of French instruments with a guest artist, free face painting, French food and wine in the museum cafe, a french photo booth, and a revolution rosette craft table. I participated in everything and it was a blast. This was my first time attending the annual event and I look forward to attending again next year. Thank you MIM for a great event. Vive la France.





I let the face painter pick my face paint design and I didn't get to see what she painted until she was finished, surprise...she gave me an amazing Ursula. I loved it.


Photo booth fun
