Bastille Day events disrupted by heat, as France marks Nice attack anniversary
Firefighters in Paris and its close suburbs have decided to cancel their balls, as the heatwave that has hit the region and much of France has put a strain on emergency services.
The balls are a traditional part of the 14 July national holiday, with fire stations opening their doors to the public for an evening of dancing and entertainment.
The Paris fire brigade said the decision to cancel the "emblematic" events that are "close to the heart of the population" is "the most responsible" course of action to protect everyone.
Tourist attractions have been closing early, and some festivals and large events across France have been cancelled because of the heat.
July 14, 2026 in Melun: the guinguette stays open, the ceremony moved up, and the fireworks canceled.
WARNING: in line with the prefectural order issued amid the red heatwave alert, there will be no fireworks this year in Melun on July 13, 2026. The commemorative ceremony has been moved up, and the festivities remain on schedule.
It’s an event the French look forward to year after year! Every mid-July, the Fête nationale is celebrated all across the country. A chance for France to reaffirm its attachment to the Republic and the values of liberty, equality and fraternity. And the celebrations are plentiful: from the firefighters’ balls held at the barracks, to the grand bals des pompiers, to the military parade drawing curious crowds along the Champs-Élysées, and of course, the fireworks lighting up the skies on the 13th and 14th of July.
