✨ What an unforgettable evening celebrating France's National Day in the heart of San Francisco! 🇫🇷
This year's Bastille Day reception at the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center brought together public officials, members of the diplomatic corps, business leaders, community partners, and friends of France to celebrate the enduring friendship between France and the United States. 🇫🇷🤝🇺🇸
From inspiring speeches and musical performances to an exceptional showcase of French gastronomy—and even a touch of French innovation with Mirokaï, the enchanting robot created by Enchanted Tools—the evening beautifully illustrated how culture, cuisine, innovation, and shared values continue to strengthen the ties between France and the United States. 🎶🤖🧀🍷🥖✨
A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Daniel Lurie, Penny Coulter, Meron Foster, Felicity Hector-Bruder, the Mayor's Office, and the San Francisco Office of Protocol for making this celebration so special—and for illuminating San Francisco City Hall in the colors of France. 💙🤍❤️
Our sincere thanks also go to the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center for welcoming us at the beautiful Wilsey Center for Opera, as well as to our incredible volunteers, artists, musicians, and partners.
We are especially grateful to our generous sponsors and donors, whose support made this reception possible: 🍷 Jean-Charles Boisset & the Boisset Collection, 🍰🥖 Sarmentine - Artisan Boulanger, 🧀 Savencia Cheese USA & Marin French Cheese Co., 🥩 Fabrique Délices, 🍺 Kronenbourg Brewery 1664, 🫒 La Tourangelle ... and all of our partners who helped showcase the very best of French excellence and hospitality.
A special thank you as well to the Official Committee of French-American Organizations for their continued collaboration in celebrating France across the Bay Area. 🇫🇷
🎉 The celebrations aren't over yet!
Join us this Saturday, July 18, from 11:00 AM at Embarcadero Plaza for San Francisco's annual Bastille Day Festival, organized by the Comité Officiel, for a day of French food, live music, entertainment, and family fun. We hope to see you there! 🎉
Vive la France ! Vive l'amitié franco-américaine ! 🇫🇷❤️
