There’s always a big concert in Paris and many other towns hold concerts too. Firefighters in southern France have already been battling huge wildfires and have warned that the unusually hot and dry conditions have left much of the country a ‘tinderbox’ – some local authorities have decided that the risk from sparks and pyrotechnics is too great. The major event of the Fête nationale is the military parade along the Champs-Elysée in Paris, always attended by the president and often by visiting world leaders too.

The festival is on the beach across from the Grand Isle Community Center and Birch Lane beach crossover No. 19. Bluesman Tab Benoit swings through town at the beginning of an extended summer tour.
