We’re all familiar with the autumn fairground ritual, and the 2026 edition kicks off with a meaningful gesture. On Friday, August 28, from 6 p.m., the Fête à NeuNeu opens its doors at the Bois de Boulogne (Paris 16th), Porte de la Muette, for a solidarity launch night led by the fairground operators with support from Europe 2. That evening, all rides and attractions will run at a single flat rate, benefiting the Paris Fire Brigade’s social initiatives.
The concept is simple and generous. For the launch, access to all attractions is bundled into a single pass priced at €20 for adults and €10 for children under 12. A nice way to say thanks to those who look after us, since all proceeds go to the ADOSSPP.
Founded in 1945 and recognized as a public utility since 1949, the Association pour le développement des œuvres sociales des sapeurs-pompiers de Paris supports the daily needs of injured or ill firefighters, as well as their families and orphans. It receives no public subsidies and lives entirely on donations, legacies, and the backing of its partners and patrons. Social support, stays, and care for orphans: every euro counts.
Following its charitable opening, the Fête à NeuNeu lights up the night sky through Sunday, October 11, 2026. For its 43rd edition, it keeps the vacation vibe going with more than 200 attractions, all listed in our complete fair guide: kid-friendly rides, bumper cars, duck fishing, skill games, and thrill rides like the much‑sought Booster that teens love. On the snack side, the essentials return: candy apples, churros, waffles, and cotton candy.
Good news for families: a lineup of free activities keeps the party going all season. The Cabaret du Mobil Môme welcomes Le Petit Fousset, the last roaming troubadour, for a 30-minute show that’s refreshed each weekend in his musical caravan. Colorful parades in costume also march by every weekend, with festive themes (Brazilian samba, disco, pop and K-pop, circus, bandas) and the heroes kids love best.
To get there, head for Porte de la Muette in the Bois de Boulogne (Paris 16th), by Metro Line 9 to La Muette or Rue de la Pompe, by RER C to Boulainvilliers, or by bus. Access to the site is free; only the attractions are paid, except for the inauguration evening at a solidarity rate. The full program and detailed schedules can be found on the official Fête à NeuNeu site.
