Bastille Day

Official Bastille Day Party at the Liberty Hotel
July 14, 2009

Join us to celebrate Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité at Boston’s own Bastille, the Liberty Hotel!

220 years ago, French revolutionaries stormed the Bastille prison in Paris. On July 14, 2009, we will take over the Liberty Hotel in Boston!

Hundreds of Francophiles (and French for the night) are expected to storm the Liberty Hotel for a revolutionary evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing, joie de vivre…and even some French flirting! This fabulous fête is sure to be the most anticipated event of the summer.

The heat picks up at 9:00 PM as the revolutionaries – all elegant and glamorous this time –take over the Liberty Hotel!  Revelers will celebrate Bastille Day on all three levels of the Liberty’s spectacular lobby to the sounds of a French DJ.  Special surprises throughout the evening will keep the revolution alive until 2:00 AM - Allons enfants de la Patrie...!

Satisfy your revolutionary appetite and head to the Liberty’s stylish restaurants, CLINK and Scampo, to indulge in French specials, featured for one night only.  In addition to its summer menu, CLINK will offer a six-course prix fixe menu ($39) of classic French dishes including Jambon de Porc Braisé sur Nouilles Fraîches and Gâteau de foies de volaille.

This event is free and open to the public, cash bar
