National Day of Livry-Gargan

The National Day in Livry-Gargan: A Double Evening of Festivities

The town of Livry-Gargan (Seine-Saint-Denis, 93190) is one of the most dynamic towns in Seine-Saint-Denis for the celebration of July 14th. Each year, the festivities take place on the evening of July 13th and offer a particularly complete double program, allowing all Livryenne families to find the option that suits them.

The Evening at the Parc de l'Orangerie

From the kiosk of the Parc de l'Orangerie, the town invites residents to a grand festive evening starting at 7:30 PM. The program for this first option includes:

• Fairground games for young and old
• Popular ball hosted by an orchestra or DJ
• Concert by the group YOE, a local musical group appreciated for its lively performances
• Torchlight procession at 10:00 PM, a traditional luminous parade that precedes the fireworks
• Fireworks starting at 11:00 PM, launched from the park in a green setting

Admission is completely free, and food is available on-site, making it an accessible event for all families.

Fireworks at the Parc des Sports Alfred-Marcel-Vincent

In parallel, the town also organizes fireworks at the Parc des Sports Alfred-Marcel-Vincent (43 avenue du Maréchal Leclerc), scheduled to be launched at 10:30 PM on Sunday, July 13th. This second launch site offers an alternative for residents in the southern part of the town.

The Firefighters' Ball

At the Livry-Gargan barracks (34 avenue Lucie Aubrac), the traditional firefighters' ball begins at 9:00 PM. An iconic moment of the French National Day, the firefighters' ball is an institution: in a good-natured and popular atmosphere, residents dance with local firefighters until the end of the night. A warm evening that perpetuates a unique national tradition.

Livry-Gargan, Green City of Seine-Saint-Denis

Livry-Gargan is a town of approximately 40,000 inhabitants located east of Paris. It is known for the richness of its natural heritage — the Parc de l'Orangerie, the Bondy Regional Forest — which offer an exceptional setting for its summer events. July 14th is always an occasion for an outdoor celebration that takes advantage of this green setting.

Commemorative Ceremony on July 14th

On the morning of July 14th, an official ceremony is held in front of the town hall or at the war memorial, with wreath-laying, the Marseillaise, and speeches by elected officials in the presence of veterans' associations, to recall the historical and patriotic dimension of the day.
