What is Bastille Day?
Bastille Day is celebrated each year on 14 July. This French national holiday is commonly referred to as simply "Quatorze Juillet" (14th July). It commemorates the Fete de la Federation, celebrated each year since 1790. The very first Fete de la Federation was held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille (14 July 1789), which was the start of the French Revolution and the beginning of the Republic of France.
Since that time, celebrations have been held in Paris with music, dancing, and food. Additional celebrations are held around the world wherever there is sufficient French presence such as New Orleans.
