New Yorkers’ favorite summer festival is back! Bastille Day returns to Madison Avenue this year with the refreshing theme of outdoor living in the Côte d’Azur. Visitors can eat, shop and play à la française, with a beach-themed performance, fun (free!) outdoor activities like arts and crafts and dance workshops on our pop-up lawn, plus exclusive film screenings, tasting parties, and over 50 booths showcasing the finest French food, artisan crafts, and unique finds.
