Fête Nationale de Bagnolet

The National Holiday in Bagnolet: fireworks at Parc de la Briqueterie

Every July 13th, the town of Bagnolet (93170) celebrates the National Holiday with its traditional fireworks at the Parc des Sports de la Briqueterie. The pyrotechnic show, which begins around 10:45 PM, illuminates the Bagnolet sky to the cheers of residents gathered on the site since 9:45 PM.

The Parc des Sports de la Briqueterie is an emblematic sports and leisure area in Bagnolet, dear to the hearts of its residents. For July 14th, it transforms into a festive and popular space, with a pyrotechnic show that can be seen from many points in the city and even the eastern Parisian suburbs.

Bajo Plage: summer in Bagnolet

The National Holiday is part of a broader summer program offered by the town of Bagnolet. Each year, the July 14th festivities open the summer season with the BAJO PLAGE event, held at the Parc des Sports de la Briqueterie from July 15th to 30th. This event offers water activities, water jets, sports, and leisure for the whole family, in an artificial beach atmosphere that allows residents to enjoy the summer without leaving the city.

Bagnolet, a popular town at the gates of Paris

Bagnolet is a town of 38,000 inhabitants, located between Paris (11th, 20th arrondissements) and Seine-Saint-Denis. Its particular geographical location — the town is entirely surrounded by Paris to the east — makes it an atypical commune, both very close to the popular arrondissements of the capital and deeply rooted in the culture of Seine-Saint-Denis.

Bagnolet is known for its lively market, its rich associative life, and its working-class culture inherited from its industrial past. The National Holiday is an opportunity to bring together a diverse community attached to its republican values. The town has made access to culture and leisure for all one of its priorities, and the July 14th festivities perfectly illustrate this commitment.

Accessibility

Bagnolet is accessible from Paris via metro line 3 (Gallieni station) and several bus lines. The Parc de la Briqueterie is located in the Briqueterie district, easily accessible from the city center and public transport.
