<holidayfyi-glossary slug="bastille-day-term"></holidayfyi-glossary>France's national holiday on July 14, marking the storming of the Bastille fortress during the French Revolution on that date in 1789 and the subsequent Fête de la Fédération of 1790. It is celebrated with military parades on the Champs-Élysées, fireworks, and communal dances. As the symbol of the Republic's founding ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, it is one of the world's most iconic national days.
