A top-notch lineup for National Day 2026 in Poissy (78)

As every year on the same date, July 14, France marks its National Day. For context, this date refers to the storming of the Bastille, a symbolic moment signaling the revolutionaries' victory over the monarchists. So, the National Day is an opportunity for towns and cities across the country to celebrate this historic date with a series of festivities: street dances, firefighters’ balls, and above all, fireworks!

As is customary for the Fête nationale, the town of Poissy in the Yvelines (78) is once again staging its traditional and spectacular fireworks display. But beware: like many municipalities in Île-de-France, it will be launched the night before, on July 13, 2026, and not on the actual day. Don’t mix up the dates, or you risk disappointing yourself—and your kids!

As night falls, spectators will be able to settle along the banks of the Seine, near the Old Bridge of Poissy, to enjoy a dazzling light and music show launched from the middle of the river. But the festivities start long before... Discover the program!
