The 14 July celebrations are shaping up to be festive in Paris and in Île-de-France, with numerous free fireworks shows scheduled on 13 and 14 July 2026 to mark the National Day. Each year, this major public event brings together families, friends and curious onlookers for outdoor evenings, featuring activities, concerts and pyrotechnic displays.
In Paris, the celebrations revolve around the military parade on the Champs-Élysées, the firefighters’ balls, and the major free concert at the Champ de Mars. Meanwhile, numerous Île-de-France towns are rolling out their own programs, featuring fireworks, popular dances, and activities to enjoy the Fête Nationale 2026 close to home.
While Parisians have grown used to heading to the Eiffel Tower to watch the dazzling fireworks display, those living in Île-de-France instead pore over the festive program offered by the city where they reside.
If you live in Seine-Saint-Denis (93), and more precisely in the town of Drancy, then the following is sure to catch your attention. The 93 commune is once again taking part in Bastille Day celebrations, with a host of activities planned for July 13, 2026.
