“It” Spot to Celebrate Bastille Day: Paris Bistro in Chestnut Hill (July 14)

Bastille Day on July 14 will be filled with French festivities and flair, especially if you are headed to Paris Bistro & Jazz Café.

The fun starts at 5 p.m., when waiters will take part in a good-natured race. Then, at 5:30 p.m., the pups take the runway for the Fifi Fashion Show; friendly and fashion-forward dogs are welcome to attend with their families. Enter your pup in the fashion show to prove that your pet is the best-dressed and win a $100 gift card to Paris Bistro.

After dinner, stay for free French lessons from 6–8 p.m. and Le Bardot-a-Go-Go French Dance Party in the café, which starts at 8:30 p.m. (masquerade required for admission).
