Mon July 14 at 6:00 PM, Daley Plaza
50 West Washington Street, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
"On July 14th 2014 the French will take over Daley Plaza, in a celebration organized by volunteers belonging to many organizations under the umbrella of the French Consulate. Le clou du spectacle, the show stopper? It will be la Course de Garçons &; Filles de Café, bien sûr! This is when waiters or wannabe waiters compete in a 200 meters sprint that involves running as fast as you can while balancing a tray full of (plastic) glasses — without spilling a drop of grand cru."
Registration is FREE and open to anybody willing to get wet! I've signed up and you can too! Qu'est-ce qui pourrait mal tourner?
All that excitement and more, including music, food, and sports-- all free. After the race we'll see if we can't sneak in a game of ptanque and hopefully gorge on many, many pastries.

By the way, I have confirmed there will be vendors for crêpes, croissants, glaces, and especially vin et bière.
