National Day of Aubervilliers

The National Day in Aubervilliers: a popular and republican celebration

Every year around July 14th, the city of Aubervilliers (93300) celebrates the Republic with its inhabitants. A dynamic commune in Plaine Commune, a territory undergoing transformation with the development of Grand Paris Express, Aubervilliers draws on its working-class and popular history to make July 14th a moment of citizen gathering accessible to all.

The festivities generally span from July 12th to 14th, with events in several neighborhoods of the city. The town hall, local associations, and firefighters join forces to offer a varied program that satisfies all generations: dancing ball, shows, activities for children, and fireworks.

The Firefighters' Ball: an unmissable event on July 12th

The firefighters' ball in Aubervilliers is one of the highlights of the celebration. It takes place at the firefighters' barracks, at 49 rue de la Commune de Paris, starting at 9 PM on the night of July 12th to 13th. Free and open to all, this ball immerses residents in a festive and warm atmosphere. The entertainment also includes a french cancan show, a nod to French popular tradition, which delights young and old alike.

The National Day and the Republican Banquet

The city of Aubervilliers organizes a republican banquet every year to celebrate July 14th together in the spirit of neighborhood festivals. This participatory event allows residents to share a common meal in a spirit of conviviality and fraternity, embodying republican values beyond official speeches.

The summer program L'été à Aubervilliers complements the national festivities with free activities throughout July. In 2025, this event was held at the quai Josette et Maurice Audin, along the Canal Saint-Denis, offering sports, cultural, and leisure activities for the whole family.
