This year’s 32nd French Library Bastille Day celebration promises to be a street party of global proportions with an astounding four hours of continuous music by three of the French-speaking world’s biggest groups: Ricardo Lemvo from the Congo with his fusion of Aftro-Cuban rhythms performing with Makina Loca, Boston's own Group Saloum, and a return performance by Emeline Michel, the Queen of Haitian Song. Artists have been programmed by World Music, Inc. Back Bay’s beautiful Marlborough Street will be blocked off between Berkeley and Clarendon Streets to accommodate 3,000 revelers, dancing in the streets. French food and drinks will be available for sale from area restaurants, making this the only street party of its kind in Boston. The French Library Bastille Day street dance will be a party in true French style, with live performances by some of the world’s hottest Francophone performers, dancing and celebrating freedom, cultural diversity, and the friendship between nations.

Gates open at 6pm, rain or shine. First act will perform at 6:30pm.
