Fireworks display 2026 in Perray-en-Yvelines (78), July 13–14

The fireworks of the National Day once again light up the sky over Perray-en-Yvelines, in Yvelines (78), on July 13 and 14, 2026. The town is pulling out all the stops with two festive days at the heart of the town, from a nocturnal market to a popular dance and a republican tribute. We’ve got the lineup for this family- and friend-friendly outing, just under an hour from Paris.

It all begins on Monday, July 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., in the downtown and at the Champ de Foire. We kick things off with a stroll through the night market, gathering nearly 60 exhibitors (creators, merchants and artisans) until 11:30 p.m.. A perfect chance to spotted a little gem before the main meal.

On the culinary side, several food trucks set up a welcoming dining area, while the musical performances set the mood on the town hall square. As night falls, the traditional fireworks light up the sky, the highly anticipated grand finale of the evening.

The party doesn’t end there: after the last bursts of light fade away, a big bal populaire led by a DJ takes over until 2 a.m. A modern guinguette vibe, perfect for extending the night as you dance under the stars.
