Fireworks have been canceled in several municipalities in Val-de-Marne for Bastille Day. That said, the festivities planned for July 13 and 14, 2026 aren’t necessarily scrapped. Community dances, concerts, ceremonies and activities for all continue to enliven the department. Discover the events that are being kept.

The 14 juillet is a must-attend summer milestone in the Île-de-France region. Across Val-de-Marne, towns traditionally celebrate the Fête Nationale with festivities spread over two days. From the evening of July 13, and throughout July 14, residents and visitors can enjoy a wide array of activities that bring this popular celebration to life in a welcoming, convivial atmosphere.

While fireworks are often the iconic centerpiece of these celebrations, they're not the only highlight people look forward to. From year to year, certain exceptional circumstances can lead municipalities to forgo their pyrotechnic display. Unfavorable weather, drought-related risks, safety imperatives, or decisions by the authorities: several factors can explain these cancellations, without calling into question the rest of the scheduled events.
