Fairmount Does Bastille Day

Philadelphia's Fairmount area and Eastern State  Penitentiary invite you to celebrate Bastille Day in style! On July 15, local businesses team with Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site for a playful reenactment of the Storming of the Bastille, followed by a French-themed street party. Come early and take a tour of Eastern State (standard admission), or stay late and take a 25-minute evening tour following the Reenactment ($10 Adults, $5 Students, Seniors and Kids). 

 

For a detailed schedule of a weekend of film screenings, outdoor street festivals, food and drink specials, and a host of other activities for children and adults, visit http://easternstate.org/schedule-events.
