Fête Nationale des Pavillons-sous-Bois

The National Day in Les Pavillons-sous-Bois: a festive and structured program

The town of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis, 93320) is one of the municipalities in Seine-Saint-Denis that offers one of the best-structured and most complete National Day programs. The festivities on the evening of July 13th take place at and around the Léo Lagrange stadium, avenue Anatole France, in a sequence of carefully orchestrated festive moments that create a memorable evening for the whole family.

Lantern distribution from 8:30 PM

From 8:30 PM, the town hall distributes lanterns to children in Place Charles-de-Gaulle. This simple and poetic moment marks the beginning of the official festivities. The lanterns, soft lights of the July night, announce the imminent parade and create a magical atmosphere, particularly appreciated by the youngest.

Torchlight procession with brass band

At 10 PM, one of the most beautiful traditions of the National Day comes to life: the torchlight procession with music and brass band. The luminous procession follows a well-marked route: Place Charles-de-Gaulle → Avenue Jean-Jaurès → Brossolette and Eugène-Fischer alleys → Avenue Anatole-France → Léo Lagrange stadium. Carrying their lit lanterns and escorted by the brass band playing catchy tunes, the residents of Pavillons cross the streets of their town in a luminous and musical procession that is one of the most moving moments of the evening.

Fireworks at 11 PM

At 11 PM, the procession arrives at the Léo Lagrange stadium for the grand fireworks display. The pyrotechnic show, carefully prepared, offers several minutes of colorful bursts and luminous bouquets that light up the sky of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois. The inhabitants gathered in the stands and on the stadium field witness this spectacle with collective enthusiasm before the hearty applause that greets the final bouquet.

Popular ball from 11:30 PM to 2 AM

Once the fireworks are over, the party continues until the end of the night. A popular ball animated by an orchestra or a DJ takes over from 11:30 PM to 2 AM, allowing night owls to extend the festivities in good spirits. This last part of the evening, more intimate, brings together residents who are not ready to go home.
