Photo gallery: Bastille on Bishop in Bishop Arts District (July 14)
More than 1,500 people attended!
OAK CLIFF — About 1,500 people: That’s three times the amount of people that were expected visited the Bishop Arts district for its First Annual Bastille on Bishop Celebration. The street festival featured games for the whole family, a wine walk, music, a full Pétanque court with a few thousand pounds of sand, and the all-important mussels competition with more than nine well-known chefs from Dallas battling it out to for the title of Best Mussels.
The heat was somehow not a factor to the droves of people who attended, but yours truly had to retreat to Eno’s for a cold drink, where, like everything at the Bishop Arts District, was busy. The mussels competition was intense, with first place going to newcomer to Lucia’s, Chef David Uygur. Second and third place went to Decanter and Zen Sushi, respectively. It was a great night on Bishop Street and a great turnout for the First Annual Bastille on Bishop.

This event was awesome! I hope they do it again next year. However, I am surprised only 1,500 showed for this, I thought is was more.

Good feedback, burlyqueen. I wasn't there, but I was absolutely astonished to hear that 1,500 people showed up. That seems like a ton to me. Where in the world did you park?

It is my understanding that the 1500 number was three times what the expectation was..

We got there a bit late Sarah, so my husband was able to find parking two blocks from the festivities. They ran out of tickets by the time we got there, but the party was still going strong. We visited each boutique and had cocktails at Hatties. I think Bishops Art is my new favourite neighborhood.
