Firemans Ball

By Ellie Markovitch

You may find yourself asking about the relationship between fireman and the  most important holiday. The answer is that firemen host the largest dancing parties to celebrate Bastille Day in all of the fire stations in Paris July 13 and 14 .

 

Party goers do not seam to be bothered that they have to wait for more than an hour to get into the annual Fireman’s Ball in the 6th district. They brought their friends, their wine and they could enjoy the music from the streets.

 

The celebration continues with a military parade up the Champs Elysees and fireworks on the Champs de Mars.
