The Sacramento Bastille Day event has grown significantly since its inception, attracting over 2,000 attendees and raising funds for local cultural organizations like the Alliance Française de Sacramento and the Sacramento French Film Festival. This family-friendly street festival not only commemorates La Fête Nationale but also features a unique Waiters Race where participants navigate an obstacle course to reach the finish line without spilling water from their trays.
Hosted by the Handle District, this annual celebration showcases the culinary scene of Midtown Sacramento, with support from numerous local restaurants that contribute to community improvement projects. The event combines entertainment, cultural awareness, and a spirit of friendly competition, promoting both mental health awareness and the local food service industry.
