July 14th celebrations: firemen's ball on July 13, 2023 in Versailles (78)

The Fête Nationale is a festive occasion that is celebrated every summer throughout France. Big cities usually go to great lengths to organize celebrations to make the day unforgettable. Balls, games, concerts, fireworks: everything is planned to please the locals.

This year, the city of Versailles is offering its citizens a firemen's ball. Join us on July 13, 2023, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., for a musical evening open to all! The people of Versailles are invited to the square in front of the fire station, for an evening of dancing with the Thierry Tacinelli orchestra. Refreshment stands and a variety of food trucks are set up behind the town hall, so you can enjoy a bite to eat without leaving the party.

This firemen's ball is a great way to have fun while doing a good deed!

The city of Versailles is not organizing a fireworks display this year. If you'd still like to enjoy the colorful spectacle, head for the Château de Versailles, which always puts on a magnificent fireworks display to conclude its Grandes Eaux musicales.
