Bastille Day FIAF

What luck! The finale falls on the same day of the great Bastille Day on 60th by the French Institute Alliance Française, the biggest “le 14 juillet” celebration in North America. French Morning is an official partner. Just like the Euro 2016 final, FIAF will organize a large open-air broadcast of the match, on a giant screen installed on East 60th Street (between 5th Avenue and Lexington Ave). The event is free and admission is free. First come, first serve for seating.
