I am not French, no aristocratic, how can I celebrate Bastille Day in the US, what are the rituals. Should I buy a guillotine?

Go to Mt. Vernon, where the key to the Bastille resides.

Dumbass, I mean Dumas, in reverence to the French Independence Day. Bastille day is in celebration of the day that the French commoners rose up against the Aristocracy and stormed the Bastille, a debtors prison and a place to put political prisoners.
The proper way to celebrate Bastille day is to have some fine french wine with Bree, and call all your creditors and tell them to piss off.

No, no, no.
It's about freedom from an oppressive government.
Go to the link and read (it's short and too the point).
If you have a French cafe or restaurant nearby, enjoy some good food.
Otherwise, drink a bottle of French wine or beer and toast the fact that at one time, French people were good friends of Americans...and hope that they come around again.
