Left Bank Bistro Celebrates Bastille Day Weekend with Live Music, Specials, and the Spirit of Independence

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - July 7, 2024 - PRLog -- The Left Bank Bistro's Bastille Day celebration, beginning on July 13th, offers a unique experience that reflects the shared values of liberty, equality, and fraternity deeply rooted in French and American traditions.

Like American Independence Day on July 4th, Bastille Day symbolizes the fight for freedom, equality, and the birth of a nation founded on democratic principles. The Left Bank Bistro plans to start the celebration on Saturday, July 13th, featuring live music by David Downing & Friends, Chef Specials, and a signature cocktail. The festivities will continue through July 14th with a unique selection of brunch offerings to mark the occasion.

"We want to celebrate independence at the Left Bank, highlighting how Bastille Day, though a French holiday, embodies the spirit of American freedom," said Susanne Byram, Left Bank Restaurateur. "With our Fourth of July just a week before Bastille Day, we aim to extend that spirit of independence throughout the month and beyond, especially during this election year when the theme of freedom is so prominent."

What to Expect at Left Bank Bistro - July 13-14th
The celebration will include:

• Live Music: David Downing & Friends will play a mix of contemporary tunes and their spin on popular 80s and 90s music, creating a festive atmosphere that captures the essence of Left Bank culture. Music begins at 6:00 PM until 9:30 PM
• Special Menu: LBB's Chef Jermaine has crafted a unique Bastille Day offering featuring an exciting array of entrees, appetizers, and his much-anticipated desserts. (and let's not forget to toast the occasion with a coup of French champagne!)
• Decorations: The restaurant will be adorned with French flags, blue, white, and red decor, and images celebrating the revolution.
• Cultural Activities: Guests can look forward to engaging in activities that showcase French culture, including a trivia contest about French history, adding an element of fun and learning to the celebration.
