Last week we celebrated U.S. independence, but this weekend it's time to wave the French flag: Bastille Day festivities are taking place on Sunday, July 12. Head to Smith Street, where thousands of Francophiles from throughout the city will be gathering for a day of live music, French food, specialty cocktails, and, of course, the 7th annual Bastille Day Pétanque Tournament.

The celebration will last from 12pm to 10pm, in the areas surrounding Smith Street and Dean Street.

It's July in Brooklyn, which means it's time to make way for hot dogs, outdoor movies, and plenty of free summer music.

The July events calendar is filled with great things for you to do all month long.
