Yet another must-do for Saturday, July 14th: Pix Patisserie’s Bastille Day Block Party.

Pix Patisserie’s Bastille Day Block Party AND Employee Talent Show! On July 14th, everyone’s favorite patisserie is going to be closing down Failing St. next to our North location in celebration of France’s national holiday, Bastille Day. We’re staging a huge street fair complete with live music (Copy, Dat’r, Quiet Countries vs. Wilding, Team Evil, Alan Singley and the Pant’s Machine, and a very special mystery guest), our 2nd Employee Talent Show, Waiter’s Race for kids and adults, Citroen Car Show, 12 liter bottles of Buzet, a Champagne and Oyster bar, whole boiled pig, French movies, clowns and monkeys, Petanque Tournament, a Pinot Noir face off between Oregon and Burgundy, and last but not least, Pix will set the Guinness World Record for the largest Croquembouche ever, with festival attendees invited to “storm” the giant cream puff pyramid after the unveiling. Ooo . . . la! la!

This solves the problem of what to do after the Mississippi Avenue Street Fair closes down at 7pm; Walk over to Pix Patisserie, as the block party goes from 12pm-2am. And it’s free!
