Toast the French in Cambridge

Sausage and sauerkraut to celebrate a French national holiday? OK, I’m game.

Sure enough, the normally-perceived German food will be on the menu Sunday - aptly classified as “choucroute and sausages” (pictured) - when the region’s largest Bastille Day celebration takes place in Harvard Square. There will be an outdoor beer and wine garden, French food vendors, local artisans, live music, and the traditional French waiter’s race.

The free event, sponsored by the Harvard Square Business Association and Sandrine’s Bistro, a local French restaurant, begins at 3 p.m. on Holyoke St. It will party on into the wee hours of Monday morning, ending at 1 a.m. For a full schedule of the day's events, click here.
