Fête de Drancy

The Fête de Drancy: a popular event in the heart of Seine-Saint-Denis

Every summer, the Fête de Drancy transforms the Parc de Ladoucette into a vast space for conviviality and sharing. Organized by the municipality in partnership with local associations, this popular festival has for many years brought together all the residents of Drancy around a generous program accessible to all generations.

With nearly 15,000 participants each year, the Fête de Drancy is one of the highlights of local life in Seine-Saint-Denis. It reflects the multicultural richness of the city and is a privileged moment of social cohesion, where neighbors, families, and associations come together in a relaxed and warm atmosphere.

A program for all ages

The day is punctuated by stage shows featuring music, dance, and circus arts, with local and regional artists invited to perform before a large audience. Children enjoy activities specially designed for them: inflatable structures, traditional games, creative workshops, and face painting. Seniors are not forgotten, with dedicated spaces for leisure and social activities.

Drancy's sports associations take over the park to introduce their disciplines to the public. Football, pétanque, martial arts, dance, and many other activities are offered as demonstrations or free introductions. It's an opportunity for residents to join a club or simply try new activities in a festive atmosphere.

Multicultural gastronomy and local crafts

The food stalls reflect Drancy's cultural diversity: Caribbean, African, Asian, North African, and traditional French cuisine are found side-by-side under the park's trees. Local producers and artisans are also present to showcase their creations and products. This gastronomic and artisanal dimension is one of the most appreciated features of the festival.

A constantly evolving festival

Over the years, the Fête de Drancy has successfully renewed itself to offer new surprises at each edition. Original themes are regularly introduced: the city thus celebrated the Festival of Colors (Holi) for the first time, a nod to the Indian and international community present in Drancy. These additions enrich the program without losing sight of the event's essence: a free festival, open to all, rooted in the values of fraternity and living together that make the city proud.

The Drancy town hall mobilizes its services, partner associations, and numerous volunteers each year to ensure the quality of welcome and the safety of participants. Admission is free and open to all, in line with the event's popular and inclusive vocation.
