    Bastille Day is the biggest 2nd Saturday Arts Stroll of the year, where State Street in downtown Media is transformed into an arts-filled, historic celebration of independence. The street is closed to traffic and restaurants offer outdoor dining. Historic characters stroll through the streets directing participants to the evening's events including live music, hands-on crafts, dancing, plein air artists, and much more. Bastille Day has always been a family-friendly, community event, so there will be activities that kids will love.Look for these activities...
