Undeclared festive gatherings: prefects reinforce bans in Normandy
Updated on 27/09/2026
These events, organized without emergency services, fire-fighting resources, or road and public health safety measures, pose a significant risk of both public order disturbances and participant safety issues.
For these reasons, the prefects of Seine-Maritime, Manche, Eure, Orne, and Calvados have issued decrees banning, for a period including especially the weekend of 12 and 13 September:
• The holding of undeclared musical festive gatherings of the teknival, rave, or free-party type,
• The transportation of collective sound reinforcement and amplification equipment and/or generators exceeding 10 kilovoltamperes capable of powering them, potentially used for teknival, rave, or free-party gatherings
Under the RIPOST Act of 18 August 2026 – establishing immediate responses to phenomena disturbing public order, safety, and tranquility – organizing an unregistered gathering becomes a criminal offense punishable by 2 years in prison and a fine of €30,000 (previously a simple administrative offense), with possible additional penalties. Participation in unregistered gatherings exceeding 250 persons – previously punishable by a fine of €500 – is now prohibited. It constitutes a criminal offense punishable by 6 months in prison and a fine of €7,500.
