Bastille Day is a celebration of national unity, democracy, and the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The day commemorates the storming of the Bastille and pays tribute to the unity of the French people. Parades, fireworks shows, and public gatherings are held throughout France to celebrate. The origins of Bastille Day date back to July 14, 1789, when a mob of Parisians stormed the Bastille, a prison and symbol of royal tyranny, in a show of defiance against Louis XVI's oppressive regime. This event marked the beginning of the French Revolution, leading to widespread political upheaval and radical reforms. Celebrations often include French-themed parties, culinary events featuring French cuisine, and cultural events promoting French language, literature, and arts. British cities with large French populations, such as London, host public gatherings and festivities on July 14th. Bastille Day is observed annually on July 14th.
