Soulard welcomes all to celebrate its unique French heritage for our Bastille Day parade; reject the monarchy, join the peasants (and Saint Boogie Brass Band!) and march with the mob.

About the Royals: The SBA is proud to select this year’s royalty, Nancy and Mark Lambert! Nancy and Mark have been residents of Soulard for 11 years, and have always enthusiastically volunteered and participated in neighborhood initiatives and events! The Soulard Business Association has been extremely grateful to Mark, in particular, for being our volunteer photographer! In return for their great service to our community, they are fit to be beheaded with all the appropriate trappings and fanfare!

Attending the Parade: The parade is best experienced on foot, which will be just a bit more than half a mile in length. Cold water will be available during the parade, but peasantry are welcome to bring their own refreshments. We recommend dressing for warm weather with as much French-ness as you can bring or wear (encouraged but not required). Golf carts may attend but will be kept to the back of the parade behind the band; trust us, it’s more fun on foot!

Soulard has been celebrating Bastille Day since 1987 (and possibly even before). A huge thanks to all the volunteers and participants – past and present – for highlighting the neighborhood’s unique French heritage.

Volunteers Needed: We need people willing to help guide our participants, our police escort, our band, and our many golf cart attendees through the streets. Specific assignments will be given during the parade, but all entail keeping everyone moving safely together from start to finish during the parade.

Join the Community Involvement & Events Committee for a neighborhood craft night as we come together to make decorations and signs for the upcoming Bastille Day Parade on July 20!

Whether you're an experienced crafter or just looking to lend a hand, all are welcome to join in the festivities. We need help to stir the revolutionary spirit of Soulardians, brave individuals willing to hot-glue, fold, tape, and cut to create patriotic symbols for the parade. Join your compatriots to craft wares that rile the crowd for Bastille Day!

Complimentary peasant-worthy (read: cheap) refreshments will be available, and all materials needed will be provided. Sign up below and swing by the Station for any time you can spare!
