On July 14, 2021, Bastille Day was back at the Center! Ok, so there was no block party on Marlborough Street but we did hold a fabulous in-person event at La Voile in Brookline to celebrate all things liberté, égalité, fraternité. Over 100 guests joined our team and the team at La Voile, led by Jérôme Bergère, for games, face painting, music, dancing, eating, drinking, and celebrating.
We hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane. Don’t forget to join us for our upcoming events and classes to relive Bastille Day all year long!
