National Day 2026 on July 14: water show, torch-lit descent and fireworks in Puteaux (92) on July 13.

In Puteaux, National Day celebrations begin the eve. On Monday, July 13, 2026, the Hauts-de-Seine municipality invites the public to a festive evening, featuring a host of activities and a fireworks display fired from the riverbanks.

Bastille Day is approaching, and with it a lineup of festive events across Île-de-France. From popular dances to concerts, torch-lit processions and fireworks, tradition makes its return. In Puteaux, in the Hauts-de-Seine, the celebrations get an early start with a big evening planned for Monday, July 13, 2026.

When National Day arrives, the Île-de-France region stands at attention... before giving way to the celebrations. In Paris, the Paris Concert and the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower set the tone, while many towns raise the colors and roll out their own programs. From the banks of the Seine to village squares, the spirit of July 14 brings together young and old for a single, shared rendezvous.

Just a stone’s throw from La Défense, Puteaux once again answers the call of the festivities. The town invites residents and visitors to the City Hall Esplanade for an evening dedicated to sharing and republican traditions. Music, activities, roaming performances and standout moments will keep the rhythm going until the grand finale: the traditional fireworks, lighting up the sky above the riverbanks to cap off this celebration night.
