On Monday, October 12th, 2026, starting at 9 PM, the traditional fireworks of the October Festivities will illuminate the sky of Wanfercée-Baulet. Fired from rue de la Jonquière, this event is part of the 48th edition of the festivities, which will also include a folkloric procession.
Residents living near the firing zone are advised to take precautions. It is recommended to close roof windows and secure vulnerable materials such as tents and awnings before the pyrotechnic display begins.
To protect domestic animals from the detonations, it is advised to bring them indoors at dusk, close shutters and curtains, and leave a soft light and a radio or television on to mitigate the noise. It is also crucial to ensure animals are properly identified with up-to-date contact information.
For horses and farm animals, a secure building or shelter should be provided, free from dangerous objects. Fences, gates, and latches should also be checked before the evening.
To ensure the smooth running of the festivities, traffic and parking restrictions will be in place on Sunday, October 11th, and Monday, October 12th, in several streets and squares of the village, including rue de la Chapelle, rue de la Closière, Place André Renard, rue A. Gailly, rue du Baty, rue Tienne du Moine, rue Paul Pastur, rue Trieu Gossiaux, rue Ferrer, rue Trieu Benoit, rue de Tamines, rue Coin Dupont, rue Franklin Roosevelt, rue Saint-Ghislain, rue d’Argenton, and rue Poète Charles Michel.
It is advisable to plan your travel in advance and respect the signage in place.
