Independence Days

Fourth of July: great weather, warm clear night, fantastic fireworks over Lake Union.

Coming up next, the French national holiday, Bastille Day. True, it's technically on the 14th, but the ceremonies this year--part of the Festal series of international cultural events--will be at Seattle Center on Sunday, July 10th. Lots of free stuff plus nominally priced French food. Online details about the official celebration.

And if you're still hungry for something traditionally French, all three French restaurants in the Pike Place Market, Campagne, Le Pichet and Maximilien, are doing special Bastille Day dinners on the 14th.
