About Fête nationale
National holiday commemorating the 1789 storming of the Bastille.
This page is the 2024-specific edition: it shows the actual weekday, the observed date if a weekend rule applies, and the placement of the holiday inside the France fiscal year that contains it. For the canonical, year-agnostic overview see the main Fête nationale page.
2024 weekday and observance
In 2024, Fête nationale falls on Sunday, July 14. Falling on a Sunday, the official observance shifts to a weekday under most national rules. Pay date for any payroll run whose payday lands on this date moves to the preceding business day.
Where it lands in FY2024
For organisations on the France fiscal calendar, Fête nationale 2024 sits in fiscal month 7 (FM7), inside quarter Q3 of FY2024. From this date, you have approximately 170 days remaining until fiscal year-end on December 31, 2024. That distance matters because year-end close planning typically begins 60 to 90 days out — meaning if FYE is within that window, this holiday already sits inside the close-planning runway and any client-facing or vendor-facing deadlines that touch it should be pre-cleared rather than rescheduled later.

Operational impact for finance teams
For finance and operations teams, Fête nationale 2024 reduces the working-day count for FM7 by one. If the holiday falls within two business days of a fiscal month-end, expect downstream impact on accrual timing (revenue cutoff, inventory counts, AP cutoffs) and on banking value dates. Wire transfers and ACH/Faster Payments typically settle the next business day; international wires may slip two days when both origin and destination observe the holiday. See our guide on mapping holidays to fiscal months for a worked example of folding observance dates into the close calendar.
If your business operates payroll on a biweekly cadence aligned to the OPM federal schedule, check the 2024 pay period schedule for the pay period containing this date — the payday for that period may shift to the preceding business day.
