Bastille Day, or the French National Day, is often celebrated every year on July 14 in France with fireworks, food, parades, concerts and balls. While these festivities are less common here in the States, lucky Union members got a taste of Paris at the Terrace in an exclusive member-only celebration.  

Around 155 members attended the event, which featured a wide array of festive snacks including assorted local cheeses, made-to-order crepes, quiche, and fruit and veggie platters. The bites were also paired with a variety of cold beers.

While guests munched and sipped, Wheelhouse Studios provided some entertainment with French-themed crafts like macaron ornaments and French flag coasters. Many student volunteers helped make the celebration run smoothly.
