The scorching heat could well threaten the National Day celebrations... Each year, the fireworks draw crowds to mark Bastille Day in Île-de-France. But depending on the weather and the fire risk tied to the heatwave, some municipalities may be forced to cancel, postpone, or alter their show. And this July 14, 2026, the Val-d'Oise could well see its fireworks canceled.
Heatwave in Val-d'Oise: fireworks, sports and alcohol banned until July 15.

From city to city, decisions aren’t always uniform and can even come at the last minute. Some municipalities opt for caution, while others must follow restrictions laid down by the authorities. Firework launches may be limited or prohibited near forests, fields and other natural spaces. It all hinges on the prefectural orders issued based on the current situation.
This year, Bastille Day festivities will unfold under a heatwave, prompting the cancellation of fireworks on July 13 and 14, 2026 in Val d'Oise. Despite bans on certain pyrotechnic displays, some activities remain on the program in the 95 department. Here’s a look at the outing ideas still on the schedule. [Read more]

For the moment, red alert has been set for July 11, 2026, and could be extended.
We’re waiting on more details as the situation unfolds. In the meantime, to help you plan your evening, below you’ll find fireworks displays that have been canceled or postponed. The list is updated as official announcements come in, but last-minute changes can still occur.
