Every year, the City of Fort-de-France commemorates the end of the calendar year with a traditional fireworks display in Fort-de-France Bay. For several minutes, the city, then plunged into darkness, is illuminated by a veritable pyrotechnic spectacle. Very popular, the nearby streets are taken by storm very early in the evening.
Beforehand, an open-air concert is held on the Place de la Savane, and shows are organized for the little ones, notably the chouval-bwa.
