It makes perfect sense. Bastille Days, which has become one of this country's largest French-themed festivals, will mark its 30th anniversary Thursday with a French toast using real French toast.

More than 3,000 French toast sticks will be distributed at 6:50 p.m. at the main stage in Cathedral Square Park in a joint celebration with 91.7 WMSE-FM, which is also observing a 30th anniversary. The toast is compliments of Food Service, Inc., and the Milwaukee School of Engineering, which holds the WMSE license.

At 9 p.m., runners and walkers will take to the streets for the annual M&I Storm the Bastille jaunt through Downtown and the Historic Third Ward. Runners follow a 5K route while walkers stroll a 2-mile course. Prizes are awarded the first three male and female finishers, but times are not officially recorded.
