La Ville de Verrières-le-Buisson was set to celebrate National Day on Monday, July 13, 2026, with a fireworks display at Parc de la Noisette. Due to the high fire risk and a prefectural order, the fireworks show has been canceled.

Because of the orange heatwave alert and a prefectural decree banning fireworks across the Essonne department until July 15, the July 13 fireworks display planned in Verrières-le-Buisson has been canceled.


As with many French municipalities, Verrières-le-Buisson is staging a Bastille Day celebration. The event takes place on Monday, July 13, 2026 at the Parc de la Noisette, located on Avenue Georges-Pompidou. The main gathering is set for 11 p.m., when the fireworks begin. Admission is free.

Before the fireworks display, visitors can enjoy a convivial moment on the site. From 7 p.m., several food trucks are stationed in the park and offer a range of dining options. To ensure the smooth running of the event, the municipality reiterates several guidelines: glass containers are prohibited on site. Access to the security perimeter is not allowed for bicycles, scooters, roller skates or other two-wheelers. People accompanied by a dog must keep it on a leash for the duration of the event.

This evening is part of the July 14 celebrations, France’s national holiday that marks the French Revolution and each year brings fireworks, dances, and a variety of activities to many towns. In Verrières-le-Buisson, choosing to hold the festivities on the evening of July 13 brings residents together for a single, centerpiece event focused on the pyrotechnic show.

To attend the 2026 National Day celebrations in Verrières-le-Buisson, simply head to the Parc de la Noisette on July 13. The food areas open from 7 p.m. and the fireworks are scheduled for 11 p.m.. The city urges the public to follow safety guidelines to help the evening run smoothly.
