Residents in North Texas have several options to observe Bastille Day, France's national holiday, which falls on July 14. The date marks the 1789 storming of the Bastille prison in Paris, a key event in the French Revolution.

One specific gathering is scheduled for July 10 at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. The venue, located at 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd., will host a happy hour event from 5 to 7 p.m. Admission to the Kimbell Art Museum is free.

The museum's celebration will include live performances by the String Theory Manouche. Attendees can also participate in a French-themed scavenger hunt that offers prizes, as well as an art-making activity. The event aims to highlight French art, culture, and community.

Organizers note that schedules may change due to weather or other factors. Visitors are advised to check official event websites for updates before traveling.
