Fireworks and republican festivities at the Swiss border
Every July 14th, the town of Delle (90100) proudly celebrates the French National Holiday. This commune in the south of the Territoire de Belfort, the second largest town in the department and a border town with Switzerland, has been organizing a festive program for many years, combining popular entertainment, a ball, and a pyrotechnic show.
Located at the confluence of French and Swiss cultures, Delle is a town with a rich history. Its cross-border agglomeration gives it a unique character in the department. This particular geographical context gives the National Holiday a very special resonance: the celebration of French republican values takes on a strong symbolic dimension just a few meters from the border crossing.
The highlight of the evening remains the fireworks display, launched from a dominant point in the commune, which lights up the sky and illuminates the town's rooftops. Family-friendly and spectacular, the multicolored bursts punctuate a final half-hour of celebration shared by the inhabitants gathered in the town's public spaces. The show is visible from a large part of the commune and surrounding areas.
Before the fireworks, the residents of Delle enjoy festive entertainment organized by the municipality and local associations: concerts, dance demonstrations, children's games, and socializing around the refreshment stands. The traditional republican ball, led by local musicians, brings together young and old in a warm atmosphere before and after the pyrotechnic show.
The Fête Nationale de Delle is more than just a show: it is a moment of civic cohesion and sharing among the town's inhabitants. The municipality is committed to offering a program that is accessible to all, free, and open each year, in the spirit of the Republic's values: liberty, equality, fraternity.
The town of Delle will once again celebrate the National Holiday on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. On the program: popular entertainment from the evening in the town center, a republican ball, and fireworks at nightfall.
