French President Francois Hollande leaves the Elysee Palace following a meeting with security officials on July 15, 2016 in Paris, a day after a gunman smashed a truck into a crowd of revellers celebrating Bastille Day in the city of Nice. An attack in Nice where a man rammed a truck into a crowd of people left 84 dead and another 18 in a "critical condition", interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said on July 15. An unidentified gunman barrelled the truck two kilometres (1.3 miles) through a crowd that had been enjoying a fireworks display for France's national day before being shot dead by police. / AFP / Thomas SAMSON

60th Street Festival East 60th Street, from Fifth to Lexington Avenues Noon–5 p.m. For over 15 years, the French Institute Alliance Française has hosted the largest public celebration of France’s very own Independence Day. The street fair showcases the food, music, and culture of our European friends. The three-block shutdown saw over 40,000 visitors last year and offers fun for the whole family, French or American. Stop by for can-can dances, a free French lesson and a chance to enter for a trip to Saint Barts, New Orleans, and France. (Michael George)
