The Evening of July 13th in the Town Hall Park

From 7 PM, the town hall park of Le Raincy transforms into a popular festive space. Foodtrucks offer food and drinks for a convivial outdoor evening. Music is provided by the band Extrabals, a group specializing in festive atmospheres and popular balls, inviting the residents of Le Raincy to dance and enjoy the mild July night.

The fireworks are launched from the park, illuminating the sky of Le Raincy in a burst of colors and pyrotechnic effects enjoyed by the whole family. This popular spectacle, visible from several points in the commune, is the highlight of the evening before the party continues.
