Bastille Day Party

Bastille Day is on 14^th July and commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a medieval fortress and prison in Paris and the storming of the Bastille by troops took place on July 14^th 1789. This is the French National Holiday and celebrates French culture and traditions. Post Offices, banks and most businesses are closed although some bakeries do remain open. There are public events which include a parade in Paris and firework displays where this is the perfect opportunity to wave hand held flags. There are also family meals and picnics that take place as well as dances and parties. The Eiffel Tower and the Tricolor French National Flag are important symbols of Bastille Day.

Bastille Day can be celebrated in many ways by using fantastic French themed party novelties. If you are having a French Themed Party whether in a pub, bar, restaurant or at home a French Decoration Pack is a good place to start. Putting up French Decorations such as French Cutouts adds to the theme and brings a taste of France to you. Red, White and Blue Balloons also add to the theme and make ideal decorations. Having a fancy dress theme always gets the party going and whether you choose a French Man Set or fancy dress accessories such as an Onion Garland or a French Beret you will look the part and a France Flag Mask can be a good disguise as well as a decoration to enjoy the festivities. Contrasting red, white and blue tableware not only matches your Bastille Day Theme but makes serving typical French food easy.
