Fête de Vaucresson

The Fête de Vaucresson, a gathering moment for the whole town

Vaucresson is a green, residential town in the Hauts-de-Seine department, nestled between the Bois de Saint-Cloud, the Parc de Saint-Cloud, and the edge of the Domaine de Versailles. With approximately 8,000 inhabitants, Vaucresson cultivates a French art de vivre, balancing preserved natural spaces with proximity to the capital. The Fête de Vaucresson reflects this balance: a popular event, rooted in local life, that brings residents together for convivial entertainment and shared moments.

The Comité des Fêtes de la Vaucressonnière, an association registered under number W922017222, is the historic organizer of the municipal festivities in Vaucresson. This volunteer organization works year-round to offer quality events that meet the expectations of the local population.

A summer program rich in entertainment

The Fête de Vaucresson generally takes place in July, taking advantage of the long summer evenings and the town's green setting. A typical edition's program includes activities for children (games, workshops, inflatable structures), musical performances, food stalls offering regional specialties and local products, as well as demonstrations by the town's sports and cultural associations.

The Espace Jean-Baptiste Le Clair is one of the key venues for the town's major events. This sports and leisure complex, located in the heart of Vaucresson, regularly hosts summer events organized by the town.

A festive calendar throughout the year

Beyond the summer festival, Vaucresson has a particularly active cultural and festive calendar. The Fête de la Musique (June 21) mobilizes amateur and professional musicians every year in the town's public spaces. July 14th features a popular ball at the Orangerie bandstand, followed the next day by the traditional fireworks display from the Espace Jean-Baptiste Le Clair.

These events, along with Christmas markets, open-air cinema nights, and various association celebrations, paint a festive and lively picture of Vaucresson that its image as a quiet residential town doesn't always suggest.

An exceptional natural setting

What makes the Vaucresson festivals unique is also their setting. The town is surrounded by classified wooded areas—the Bois de Saint-Cloud, part of the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud managed by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux—and enjoys clean air and a rare tranquility so close to Paris. This natural serenity is felt in the atmosphere of the local festivals, which are closer to those of a provincial village than a Parisian suburb.
