Today is Bastille Day! It is also known as French National Day or the Fourteenth of July. It celebrates both the storming of the Bastille (a prison) in 1789 and the Fete de la Federation in 1790. The storming of the Bastille signifies the start of the French Revolution. And the Fete signifies unity as it was a day when royalty and citizens came together.

We may call it Bastille Day, but the French call it La Fete Nationale, or simply Le quatorze juillet. It's the holiday to commemorate the 1789 storming of the Bastille prison—a symbol of France's let-them-eat-cake crowd. In France, the holiday is celebrated with traditional military parades and fireworks, but across the ocean, Americans seem to prefer to give it a comical (though surely not disrespectful) twist. We've gathered a sampling of unusual celebrations that don't require a passport.
