Bastille Day (France) in
Days to go:
Bastille Day commemorates the 1789 storming of the Bastille, which symbolized the crucial victory of the French people against monarchical tyranny. The day also honors the Fête de la Fédération, held on July 14th, 1790, which celebrated the unity of the French nation following the revolution. The relevance of Bastille Day to South Africans dates back to the late 17th century, with the arrival of French Huguenots fleeing religious persecution in France. The French significantly contributed to the development of the South African wine industry through their viticulture knowledge and expertise, influencing the country's culture and economy. In South Africa, Bastille Day is observed through the events taking place in Franschhoek, a historically French region famous for its vineyards. Held during the Franschhoek Bastille Festival, the celebrations include French-themed gourmet food, wine tasting, live music, and various entertainment for the whole family. The observance of Bastille Day in South Africa continues to foster the shared cultural and historical links enjoyed by both nations. The festival usually takes place in the weekend closest to July 14th, as Bastille Day itself occurs on the same date worldwide. Top X Posts (formerly Tweets) for Bastille Day -Updated
