  It looks like the date 7/14 is right on top. So perhaps July 1914?

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  More likely July 14, Bastille Day.

• Arden said:

  Thanks for your observations about this image. The date 7/14 probably refers to Bastille Day as pennylrichardsca notes. A related photograph from the Bain collection shows a similar scene with the caption reading "July 14 fete": hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b06690 We can add this information to the description when we upload the database.

  In 1913, July 14 fell on a Monday. The permanent-looking lunch building and bandstand suggest that the celebration may have been held in a public park.
