Earlier in the day a special birthday observance takes place as  The Vincennes Historical & Antiquarian Society will commemorate the 324th birth anniversary of the founder of the city of Vincennes, Francois Marie Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes.

The observance will be at the Vincennes Farmer’s  Market at the corner of First and Busseron Streets at 10 am.

After singing Happy Birthday, there will be cupcakes and then the  celebration will move to the statue of the Sieur de Vincennes at the end of Main Street, by the Riverwalk.
