Bal des Pompiers
|
Bal des pompiers is returning on July 12, 2008. |
 |
The Bal des Pompiers (Firemen’s ball) is a great tradition in France
and is part of the celebration for the Bastille Day.
The night before or on Bastille Day, July 14, the firemen of each city and
village are hosts of their 'Bal des pompiers' which often includes live
music and partying in the streets.
On the main square of any villages, people enjoy great live bands, usually
with accordions, and eat, drink and dance with the firemen under the
warm summer night sky.
In Seattle, the Bal des Pompiers will be held on July 12 at Fisher Pavilion from 6.00 pm to midnight.
