Join us on Main Street at The Shops at La Cantera for a Bastille Day French Festival, sponsored by Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, July 12. More than 20 teams from San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston will compete in the Petanque “Bocci” Tournament. Enjoy $5 beer and wine and $5 small bites presented by San Antonio vendors including Sweet Paris; Sur La Table; La Madeleine; Luciano Ristorante & Pizzeria, Tardif’s, Lacoste Bakery, plus the International School of San Antonio and Verounique Art Studio.
French classic cars will be displayed and live music from noon to 6 p.m. will feature La Bedoune, French classic and blues. Le Bedoune won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2020 and then placed in the finals of the same event two years later.
Multi-disciplinary artist Joao Quiroz’s special initiative at the French Festival is to create a unique cultural activation blending live art and philanthropy. He calls the initiative “La Belle Cause: inspired by Claude Monet’s Legacy” which celebrates French Impressionism coupled with the spirit of giving, donating the work of art to CRIT (Children’s Rehabilitation Institute TeletonUSA). CRIT’s mission is to serve children with neurological, muscular and skeletal disabilities through a comprehensive, compassionate, state-of-the-art rehabilitation program focused on family healing and inclusion.
