Fête du Bourget

The Fête du Bourget: celebrating together in the city of aviation

Le Bourget (93350), made famous by its Air and Space Museum and its Paris Air Show, is a town in Seine-Saint-Denis with a strong identity and international reach. Its annual festival, a popular and free event, is an opportunity for Bourget residents to come together and celebrate their community in an atmosphere of conviviality and sharing, far from the professional hustle and bustle of the air show.

A varied and festive summer program

The Fête du Bourget offers a rich program of activities spread over a weekend or several days. Music stages host local and regional artists in various genres – world music, French chanson, jazz, soul, and contemporary music. Street performances and artistic performances parade through the festive area, surprising and delighting visitors. Participatory workshops allow residents of all generations to actively get involved in the festival.

A festival for families

Families and children are at the heart of the festive arrangements. A specially designed children's area offers inflatable games, creative workshops, face painting, and magic or clown shows suitable for the youngest. Parents can enjoy the food stalls offering varied and affordable cuisine: grills, world cuisine, pizzas, crepes, and sweet treats. Shared dining areas with tables and benches allow for lunch or dinner together with family or neighbors.

The associative fabric in the spotlight

The Fête du Bourget is also an opportunity for the many local associations – sports, cultural, social, patriotic – to present themselves to residents and promote their activities. An associative village brings together the stalls of these essential players in local life, allowing residents to get information and sign up for activities available in the fall. This participatory dimension makes the festival not only a moment of pleasure but also a tool for the vitality of Bourget's social fabric.

Accessible from Paris and the inner suburbs

Thanks to the RER B train station in Le Bourget, the festival is easily accessible from Paris and many towns in the Île-de-France region, allowing visitors from outside the area to discover this unique town during its most convivial festive moment.
