Fête Nationale de Valenton

National Celebration in Valenton: July 14th in the town

Valenton (94460) is a small town in Val-de-Marne with about 12,000 inhabitants, neighboring Villeneuve-Saint-Georges and Créteil. Despite its modest size, Valenton has an active associative fabric and an intense community life. The National Celebration is an opportunity for a sincere and warm community celebration.

A celebration on a town scale

The July 14th festivities in Valenton generally take place on the central square or in the municipal park. The organization is managed by the town hall in collaboration with local associations. A concert or musical entertainment opens the evening, followed by activities for children and families. The associations' refreshment stand and food stalls allow people to gather for a drink and a shared meal.

In Valenton, the National Celebration is a neighborhood party that is both simple and sincere. Residents gather with joy to celebrate the anniversary of the French Revolution together, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that reflects the popular and accessible character of the town.

The fireworks

The July 14th fireworks are launched from a suitable area in the town at nightfall. This is the most anticipated moment of the evening, when all Valenton residents gather to admire the luminous bursts in the night sky. The intimate scale of the show - typical of small towns - gives it a special charm, that of a moment shared within the community, without the crowds or anonymity of large cities.

Valenton, a supportive town

Valenton is a town where solidarity and mutual aid are values lived daily. Local associations, community centers, and volunteers play an essential role in the life of the town, and the National Celebration is an example of this. The collective organization of the event, volunteering, sharing responsibilities: all of this embodies the republican values that the celebration is meant to honor.
