'France On The Main Line': Bastille Day Block Party In Ardmore

ARDMORE, PA — A new festival coming to Ardmore this summer aims to bring "a taste of France to the Main Line" while also kicking off Restaurant Week.

The Bastille Day Block Party will take over Station Avenue on Sunday, July 14.

The best of local French cuisine and culture will be celebrated at the event, which will include a French wine garden, street foods, live music and entertainment, can can dancers, face painting, games, a moon bounce, and more.

Station Avenue will be shut down at Lancaster Avenue for the day.

"Ardmore is bringing a taste of France to the Main Line for our first-ever Bastille Day Block Party," Justin Weathers, co-owner of The Bercy, said. "In France, Bastille Day - or La Fete Nationale - is celebrated across the countryside with outdoor dances, picnics, parties and neighborhood gatherings. We wanted to bring people together like that on the Main Line to share our love of French culture, food and wine. We are excited to start a brand new tradition and signature event in Downtown Ardmore."

Numerous local restaurants, including The Bercy, Delice et Chocolat, and others will have special food options available for the day.

The festival will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and admission is free.

Ardmore's restaurant week begins the day following, July 15, and runs through July 28.
