Saturday, July 13th: The iconic Firefighters' Ball
For those looking to dive into a retro atmosphere, look no further than the traditional Firefighters' Ball. This year, the Transvaal firehouse located at 26 rue du Transvaal is opening its doors for a special "Back to 80s - 90s" evening. From 9:00 pm until dawn, get ready to dance to the hits that defined these two magical decades.
The firefighters of Dijon are known for their hospitality and know how to light up the party (figuratively, of course!) Whether with friends or family, it's a chance to meet these everyday heroes in a festive and nostalgic setting. Don't forget to dress in attire inspired by the era for a complete immersion!

Sunday, July 14th: The unmissable fireworks display
The highlight of the National Day celebration is undoubtedly the fireworks display. In Dijon, the best place to enjoy it is at Lake Kir. The festivities begin at nightfall, where a spectacular pyrotechnic show will light up the Dijon sky. You can choose your ideal spot: on the beach to be closest to the artificial shooting stars, at the Belvédère de Talant for a panoramic view, or in Corcelles-les-Monts for those who prefer a more intimate setting.
Sunday, July 14th: The Euro Football Final
