Due to a prefectural order prohibiting fireworks because of fire risks in the department, the town of Cormeilles-en-Parisis has canceled its fireworks display. The rest of the evening's program, however, remains unchanged.
The National Holiday is celebrated every year in France on July 14, a date that notably commemorates the storming of the Bastille, a key moment of the French Revolution that began on July 14, 1789. This public holiday is now marked by traditional celebrations in honor of the Republic. Thus, in the heart of summer, fireworks, a military parade and firefighters' balls come to life in every corner of the country.
Looking for a solid plan near you in the 95 for the Fête Nationale 2026? Head to Cormeilles-en-Parisis in the Val d'Oise to catch the traditional fireworks display. The gathering starts at the Émy-les-Prés area from 2 p.m. until the musical fireworks light up the sky from 11 p.m.
It's also the perfect way to spend the afternoon with friends and family, thanks to the activities and on-site dining. A fitting celebration of Bastille Day 2026 in Île-de-France!
Family-friendly activities, inflatable structures, games, rides: all the ingredients will come together to celebrate Bastille Day on Tuesday, July 14, at the Émy-les-Prés site. The edition could, however, reserve a major surprise for football fans if the French team makes it to the World Cup semifinal scheduled for the same evening.
The festivities will kick off at 2 p.m. with a host of free activities for families on the site and in the Émy-les-Prés hall. Both indoors and outdoors, several inflatable structures will be ready for children. A face-painting station (open until 7 p.m.), kermesse games, and sporting games will also be available until 9 p.m. A midway with rides, a candy truck, and a duck pond will round out the lineup of activities throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
