Fromage

Overview

When July 14 rolls around, France commemorates the storming of the Bastille back in 1789 — and, 230 years on, the celebration is still going strong. The rest of the world joins in too, because everyone loves an excuse to eat cheese and drink wine. Understandable, really. Highly relatable, too.

At West End's West Village, marking the occasion definitely involves plenty of dairy. In fact, the inner-city precinct has dubbed its event Fromage, should you be wondering just how much cheese will be on offer. For $35 per person, you'll tuck into cheese grazing boards, sip a glass of bubbles on arrival and listen to French jazz. You'll also start dreaming of a Parisian holiday, we're betting, but that's understandable as well.

The Sunday afternoon fun runs from 3–6pm, and nabbing a ticket asap is recommended — it sold out last year.
