Fête Nationale de Fontenay-sous-Bois

The National Holiday in Fontenay-sous-Bois: A Popular Outdoor Celebration

Fontenay-sous-Bois, nestled between the Marne and the Bois de Vincennes, celebrates the National Holiday every year with a festive program that takes advantage of its numerous green spaces. On the evening of July 13th, the city transforms into a festive space to bring together its 54,000 inhabitants in a friendly and fraternal atmosphere.

A Two-Part Festive Program

The festivities on July 13th unfold in two complementary parts. Starting at 8 PM, the Parc des Épivans hosts a popular ball animated by a musical group, creating a festive and dancing atmosphere in the heart of this green space appreciated by the residents of Fontenay. The evening continues with the fireworks display, launched at 10:30 PM from the Stade Le Tiec, visible from many points in the city.

The Stade Le Tiec, with its open spaces, offers an ideal location for launching the fireworks. The pyrotechnic show lights up the sky of Fontenay-sous-Bois and neighboring towns to beautifully conclude this National Holiday evening.

A Summer of Conviviality

The National Holiday in Fontenay-sous-Bois is part of a broader summer program running from July 12th to August 2nd. During these weeks, the Parc des Épivans and the Stade Merlen become spaces for living, sharing, and entertainment, offering cultural and sports activities, exhibitions, relaxation areas, and activities for all ages.

This initiative reflects the cultural philosophy of Fontenay-sous-Bois: a city that relies on the vitality of its public spaces and the dynamism of its community associations to offer its residents a summer quality of life without leaving their town.
