Bastille Day, 2024 -- July 14, 2024

San Francisco Call, 14-July-1897

Happy Bastille Day, everyone. In 1897, the Chutes, an amusement park, celebrated the holiday. "2 P.M. Literary Exercises. Mayor James D Phelan addressed the crowd. "Fireworks and Grand Ball at Night," all for 25 cents. Sounds like a good deal.

This year's celebration does not appear to include Literary Exercises.
