Itâs Franceâs equivalent of the Fourth of Julyâcelebrate by clamping a small beret onto Fido at the Seattle Centerâs French costume parade for dogs (plus more actually French things). In Madison Valley, a somewhat-French street food fair benefits the Childrenâs Response Center. The party at Bastille (the restaurant) in Ballard features a Marie Antoinetteâalike (no beheading!). Le Pichet downtownâalways packed todayâhas live music, as does the outdoor party at the Corson Building, where you can also play carnival games, make mustard, experience âbike-powered high jinks,â and more. Chouette! (Prices/times: www.seattle-bastille.org, www.madisonvalley.org, www.bastilleseattle.com, www.lepichetseattle.com, www.thecorsonbuilding.com)
