Due to a high fire risk and a prefectural order in Essonne, the fireworks display, originally planned for July 13 in Marcoussis, has been canceled and postponed to Saturday, September 5, 2026, as the closing event of the village festival.
On the occasion of the Bastille Day, the town of Marcoussis invites residents to meet on Monday, July 13, 2026 at Parc des Célestins for an outdoor evening. As every year, this municipal event marks the eve of July 14 with a gathering open to all. The highlight of the evening is the fireworks, scheduled at 11 p.m..
Visitors can arrive at the start of the evening to enjoy the site before the launch of the fireworks display. An on-site dining option is available for those who wish to dine there. Those who prefer can also bring their own meals: the picnics are allowed, allowing families or groups of friends to settle in the park before the festivities begin.
The event takes place in the Parc des Célestins, the municipality’s main venue for major celebrations. Its setting allows the public to be received in comfortable conditions while offering a suitable spot for the fireworks launch. Access to the evening is free, with no reservation required.
The celebrations have been canceled and rescheduled for September 5, 2026
The National Day of July 14 commemorates major events in France's history, notably the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Festival of the Federation in 1790. In many towns, this celebration features fireworks and community gatherings organized the eve or the day itself. In Marcoussis, the town hall has chosen to focus the program on the evening of July 13, with a single gathering at Parc des Célestins, allowing residents to share a convivial moment before the fireworks scheduled at 11 p.m.
