Fête Nationale de Villemomble

The National Holiday in Villemomble: fireworks, ball, and republican picnic

The town of Villemomble (Seine-Saint-Denis, 93250) carefully perpetuates the tradition of the National Holiday by offering a program that spans two days each year. The main festivities take place on the evening of July 13th, complemented by a moment of conviviality on the morning of July 14th.

July 13th: Fireworks and Popular Ball

The fireworks are the highlight of the evening of July 13th in Villemomble. Fired in the evening from a central point in the town, they offer a spectacular light show visible from many neighborhoods. Musical entertainment and food stalls precede the pyrotechnic display, creating a festive and relaxed atmosphere.

The traditional firefighters' ball — a national institution for the July 14th holiday — is organized by the Villemomble firefighters at their fire station. In the warmth of the July night, residents and firefighters dance together until the early hours of the morning. This ball, both popular and warm, is a strong symbol of local cohesion.

The ephemeral terrace

In some years, the municipality also sets up an ephemeral terrace in the town center, a festive space set up for the occasion with catering, entertainment, and music, inviting residents to extend the festivities in a friendly and accessible setting.

July 14th: The Republican Picnic

On the morning of July 14th, the town organizes a republican picnic, a convivial moment of sharing where residents bring their own baskets and enjoy a common green space to have lunch together. This format, which lies between the official ceremony and the popular festival, reflects the identity of Villemomble: a residential town that values social connection and quality of life.

An official ceremony at the war memorial precedes the festivities, with the participation of the mayor, elected officials, and patriotic associations, to recall the historical significance of July 14th.
