NEW YORK—New Yorkers embraced French culture as they celebrated Bastille Day, France’s National Holiday in Manhattan this Sunday.
The celebrations packed in thousands as many booths welcomed residents of all ages to partake in the annual three-block party on 60th Street between Fifth and Lexington Avenue.
Offering fun activities for kids and adults, the celebrations showed a great turnout on the beautiful sunny afternoon. Kids got excited as they got their faces painted and bought balloon hats while adults enjoyed the many French delicacies available for sale, especially the wide range of crêpes.
“The food looks fantastic,” said Christine Vasilantone from New Jersey who had stumbled upon the celebrations on her shopping trip into the city.
