July 14 is a very special day in France, as it celebrates the Fête Nationale. So what's there to do? In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, there's a whole host of festivities in store, including popular balls, concerts, original entertainment, fireworks displays and military parades. The highlight in Paris is the military parade on the Champs-Elysées and the fireworks show from the Eiffel Tower, no less!
Another traditional festive celebration on the 14 July: the Firemen’s Balls! Each year, the doors of certain fire stations swing open to offer us a lively evening that goes on until dawn. The Paris Fire Brigade answers the call for this National Day 2026 and invites us to party alongside them. A wonderful opportunity to celebrate 14 July in a festive mood while paying tribute to the services they provide throughout the year.
Over in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, the Port-Royal fire station invites you to its Firefighters' Ball on the evening of July 13, 2026, from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. A second popular ball also awaits at the Masséna fire station on the same night.
