2024 celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944. To mark the occasion, Paris is organizing a large-scale free public ball, with a wide range of entertainment on the program.

The Liberation of Paris during the Second World War took place from August 19 to 25, 1944, putting an end to four years of occupation of the French capital. In 2024, the capital celebrates this important date and its 80th anniversary, with a host of events. On August 23, head to the Quartier Jeunes for a festive and musical evening, with a large free popular ball, swing initiations and a live concert, immersing you in the exceptional atmosphere of this moment of joy and relief.

This evening is an opportunity to pay tribute to the heroes and heroines who liberated the city of Paris in 1944, but also to celebrate, by learning the iconic swing steps during initiations led by passionate dancers, from 7pm to 10pm. On August 25, enjoy a free swing dance at the Jardins d'Eole, to extend the joy of the commemoration with a musical accompaniment!

On October 25, starting at 5:30pm, theHôtel de la Marine will be hosting a ball on this theme, organized by the Carnet de Bals association.
