    July 14th Fireworks in Nancy Will Be Launched from the Gentilly Site!
    Monday, July 14 at 8:00 PM

    New this year: the City of Nancy invites the public to gather on Monday, July 14 from 8:00 PM at the Plateau de Haye. The launch site will be set up in the parking lot of the Gentilly swimming pool, and spectators will be able to enjoy the show from the Jean Weille Sports Arena parking lot.

    The City of Nancy has commissioned the fireworks display from JSE – Jouets et Spectacles de l’Est. The show, specially designed to highlight the site, will be synchronized with an original soundtrack.

    -> Program:

    From 8:00 PM: Music broadcast, food stalls, and refreshments available on-site.
    Around 10:30 PM: Launch of the pyrotechnic show (approx. 16 minutes), accompanied by a synchronized soundtrack featuring, among other styles, electro swing pieces in reference to Métro’folies.
    After the show: Music will continue to be broadcast on-site until around 11:30 PM.
    Please note: The video mapping show at Place Stanislas will still be projected at its usual time (10:45 PM), as the distance from the Gentilly site is too great for coordination between the two events.

    ➡️ The Bastille Day fireworks are traditionally held on the evening of July 14 in Nancy, allowing residents to enjoy events happening in other neighborhoods and towns of Greater Nancy on July 13.
