Fête Nationale de Levallois-Perret

The National Holiday in Levallois-Perret: Cinema Ignites on the Seine

Every year on July 13th, the town of Levallois-Perret celebrates the National Holiday with an ambitious festive program that brings together thousands of residents on the banks of the Seine. This dense and dynamic commune in the Hauts-de-Seine, enclosed in the loop of the Seine opposite Neuilly, has made its National Holiday an emblematic event combining culture, spectacle, and popular conviviality.

A Themed Fireworks Display on the Bridge

The highlight of the festivities is the fireworks display from the Levallois bridge, launched at 11 PM. Each year, the pyrotechnic show is designed around an artistic or cultural theme that renews the experience. For the 2025 edition, the theme of cinema stars has been chosen, in tribute to the seventh art and French cinematic tradition. The rockets and light fountains were synchronized to music from iconic films, creating a visually and emotionally engaging spectacle of high quality.

The Levallois bridge, spanning the Seine, offers an ideal setting for the fireworks: visible from both banks, it allows the spectacle to be reflected on the river's waters, doubling the magic of the moment. Levalloisians gather on the quays, banks, and green spaces along the Seine to enjoy the best view.

A Festive and Lively Firefighters' Ball

The evening begins with the firefighters' ball at the Levallois-Perret Fire Station, from 9 PM until 4 AM. Host Pat Angeli and the RFM Night Fever team are in charge of the musical entertainment, offering dancers and party-goers a generous and upbeat musical program mixing French and international hits, disco, and popular tunes. This quality programming makes the Levallois firefighters' ball a particularly appreciated event in the Hauts-de-Seine.

Activities for the Whole Family

Before the fireworks, the Levallois-Perret town hall offers activities for all age groups. Starting at 8 PM, the area around the site transforms into a festive space with live music, family entertainment, and food stalls. The popular festive atmosphere—joyful, intergenerational, and open—that characterizes the National Holiday in Levallois is one of its most appreciated features by residents.

Levallois-Perret, a Popular and Festive Town

With its 70,000 inhabitants packed into just 2.3 km², Levallois-Perret is one of the most densely populated towns in Europe. This density fosters intense neighborhood life and festive traditions rooted in the urban social fabric. The Levallois National Holiday is a reflection of this town: lively, colorful, popular, and deeply attached to its community values.

The Seine, which borders the town to the north and east, is the natural and symbolic backdrop for the national celebration. Celebrating the National Holiday on the banks of the river that has flowed through Paris for centuries is to celebrate both national history and the identity of a town resolutely focused on the future.
