"Bastille Day" is the name commonly given in English-speaking countries to the national day of France. Celebrated on July 14 each year, it marks the anniversary of one of the major events of the French Revolution—the storming of the Bastille on July 14. 1789—as well as the subsequent Fête de la Fédération that celebrated the unity of the French people on 14 July 1790. Celebrations are held throughout France, including what has been reported as the oldest and largest military parade in Europe, held on July 14 on the Champs-Élysées in Paris in front of the President of France, along with other French officials and foreign guests. In honor of the holiday, Foley will feature some of his favorite music of France throughout the afternoon on Blue Lake Public Radio.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and the stories behind the music—every afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
