Soulard welcomes all to celebrate its unique French heritage for the Bastille Day parade! Reject the monarchy, join the peasants, and march with the mob throughout the neighborhood on Saturday, July 12. The parade will begin at the Soulard Market with a rousing call against the Royalty, who when sighted, shall be chased VERY slowly across the neighborhood. The parade will stop at several bourgeois businesses throughout Soulard, and end with a gathering of peasants to witness the end of the monarchy by guillotine back at Soulard Park. The Soulard Summer Concert series will kick off at 6pm in the park for a full evening of celebration!
