National Day 2026 in Guyancourt (78): Fireworks canceled, concert and games go ahead

The town of Guyancourt invites you to a festive afternoon for Bastille Day on July 13, 2026. A concert and family activities are on the program, despite the fireworks being canceled due to a local decree.
Due to the red heatwave alert, the Yvelines prefecture bans fireworks across the department.
The July 13 pyrotechnic show is therefore cancelled. The festivities, however, continue with other activities!
This year again, for the National Day 2026, the city of Guyancourt is hosting its traditional fireworks display on the eve of the big day, July 13, 2026. But the celebrations kick off much earlier in the day with activities for kids and the young at heart at the Jardin des Gogottes.

Guyancourt is a commune in the Yvelines. It is part of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines urban area and lies about 30 kilometres southwest of Paris. Once a rural village, it underwent rapid urban development from the 1970s while preserving a genuine village spirit, with varied neighborhoods and a quality of life cherished by its residents. Curious to find out what it’s all about and to take a quick stroll?

For this festive evening on July 13, games of all kinds, a blindtest, a concert, a popular dance and, of course, fireworks await you, to celebrate the Fête Nationale in style!

National Day program 2026 in Guyancourt:

  • 5:00–7:00 PM: Stroll through the Gogottes garden. Fan customizations, keychain crafting, giant wooden games (hosted by Temps du Lude), and kids’ pétanque.
