Bastille Day in Wedgewood
In the developing neighborhood of Wedgewood-Houston, neighbors had a chance to get to know one another, discover new hot spots in town, and celebrate a lesser-known holiday at its first-ever Bastille Day Block Party this weekend. Complete with music, food, and shopping, the new event highlighted new businesses and neighborhood joints, all with a French twist.
While Bastille Day may be a nod to the French restaurant Pastis, which opened last year, all kinds of cultures and foods were featured Saturday.
"It's just such a community. Everyone is coming, everyone is meeting each other, everyone is friendly that I've talked to," said one neighbor, Nick Marblestone.
As this neighborhood continues to grow, so too does awareness for the French holiday.
"I actually didn't know what Bastille Day was before this, so it's definitely my first and favorite Bastille Day," laughed Marblestone.
