In Coulommiers, in Seine-et-Marne, Bastille Day will be celebrated on July 14, 2026 with a popular ball, and a morning parade is planned. By contrast, the traditional fireworks display has been cancelled due to the intense heat, in line with the current prefectural order. Here’s the update!

ATTENTION : under the current prefectural order, this July 14, 2026 fireworks display is cancelled due to the heat and safety concerns. Nevertheless, the ball and the parade will go ahead.

In France, the National Day brings together citizens each summer around a slate of must-see events: community dances, parades, republican picnics and fireworks displays. While the 14 July historically commemorates the storming of the Bastille, festivities often extend from the eve, letting the Île-de-France municipalities shine in turn.

The Île-de-France region lends itself particularly well to the task, with municipalities gradually unveiling a varied lineup of programs that invite exploration of the francilien territory, notably in Seine-et-Marne. The town of Coulommiers is preparing to mark the occasion with its traditional fireworks display and several ceremonies.

It's the perfect chance to come and discover the local heritage before the festivities begin. Known for its famous cheese, the commune also preserves a wealth of historical relics. Take the opportunity to explore Capucins Park, home to the ruins of a 17th-century castle and a municipal museum, or admire the leaning Saint-Denis Church, whose older structures bear witness to the medieval roots of this Briarde town.
