On July 14, 1789, revolutionaries stormed the Bastille prison, bringing down one of the symbols of royal power. This date now commemorates the beginning of the republic and democracy in France, and is celebrated every year throughout the country. Military parades, firemen's balls, torchlight processions, lantern-lit strolls, fireworks displays: there are a few must-see events that take place every year on this date.
But these traditions don't prevent communes from innovating, and offering original events for their fellow citizens. In fact, there are a number of unusual themed festivals in the Paris region that should delight young and old alike during this national holiday season.
If you'd like to enjoy an evening like no other, take a look at our selection of original events to enjoy with family and friends on July 13 and 14, 2025. The list is not exhaustive, so check back regularly to see what's new!
