Every year, Bastille Day celebrations bring together thousands of residents of the Paris region for a festive program celebrating France’s National Day. In Val-d'Oise, as elsewhere in Île-de-France, towns traditionally offer activities across the evening of July 13 and throughout July 14: public dances, concerts, official ceremonies, parades, family activities and open-air shows.
The fireworks display is often the most eagerly awaited part of these celebrations. However, depending on the circumstances—notably weather conditions, the risk of fire, prefectural decisions or safety requirements—some municipalities may be forced to cancel their fireworks display. These decisions, made to protect the public and natural areas, do not necessarily mean that all the festivities have been cancelled.

This year, Bastille Day 2026 is taking place, for example, amid heat spikes that could lead to fireworks being canceled in Val-d'Oise, depending on the department's heat alert level. But that doesn't mean celebrations will have to be called off!
To help you make the most of Bastille Day, we’ve put together a list of the events going ahead despite the lack of fireworks. That way, you can easily find out which events are still taking place and choose an outing to suit your preferences, even when the traditional grand finale can’t go ahead.
Before you travel
Even when a program has been announced, last-minute changes or cancellations are still possible as the situation evolves. We therefore recommend checking the organizing municipality’s website or social media before setting off to make sure the festivities are still going ahead and to find out about any changes.
