Please note: Due to the ongoing wildfire situation across the Pyrénées-Orientales, some fireworks displays may be cancelled or postponed at short notice if fire risk levels increase or prefectural restrictions are introduced. Before travelling, we recommend checking with the local tourist office or mairie for the latest information.

There’s something magical about a summer evening in the Pyrénées-Orientales. As the sun sets and the air begins to cool, beaches, harbours and historic villages become the backdrop for spectacular fireworks displays that light up the Mediterranean sky. Whether you’re watching from a bustling promenade, a castle square or with your feet in the sand, there’s no better way to round off a warm summer’s day.

Throughout July and August, many towns and resorts across the region host fireworks as part of their summer festivals and celebrations. Some displays are accompanied by live music, street entertainment or night markets, making them the perfect excuse for an evening out with family and friends.

A quick note before you go: While we’ve done our best to ensure the information below is correct at the time of publication, fireworks may occasionally be postponed or cancelled due to weather conditions or wildfire risk. We recommend checking with the local tourist office if you’re making a special journey. Fireworks regulations in France are also stricter than in many other countries, so if you’re planning your own display, make sure you’re familiar with the current rules. And, of course, spare a thought for pets and wildlife, who don’t always enjoy the bangs quite as much as we do!
