Embrasement du port et spectacle pyrotechnique – 10 30pm

FIREWORKS IN SAINT CYPRIEN – 15TH AUGUST 2025

One of the most talked about firework displays in the region, the ‘setting alight’ of the port and the firework extravaganza attract folk from far and wide.The display is preceded at 7pm by a ‘sardinade’ when local fishermen share their sardine catch in this traditional Catalan feast of grilled sardines, bread and aioli .Traffic in and out of this popular event is notoriously problematic so if you can take public transport or car share, tant mieux (all the better)

A  traffic ban around the port will be in place  with only emergency vehicles allowed to circulate in most areas of the port.

Free parking is available on Camí de la Mar (including disabled parking).

It is advisable to arrive well before 8 p.m. for the fireworks display.

The display will be set off near the entrance of the port and will be visible from the port and beaches.

Security measures are strict to maintain safety, but  the firework display is well worth the hassle!

EVENING PROGRAMME

7pm : Quai de Pêche – Join the local fishermen for grilled sardines, aïoli, vin rouge … and festive atmosphere.
