All events are listed on the official web site and you can use Google Translate to read it in English.

A few of the key events include:

The Grand Parade 

15h Mairie du 18e • Place Jules Joffrin • Saturday, October 10 • Check-in 15h

With almost 1500 participants including local folk groups and musiciens the parade starts at the Marie in the 18e and goes to Place des Abbesses.  Follow this colorful parade through the picturesque streets of Montmartre.

Fireworks

Steps of the Sacre Coeur • Saturday, October 10 • 21h30 specific

Sit on the steps of the Sacre Coeur and watch the sky above Paris light up with a fireworks display set to music.  This is one or my favorite places in Paris for fireworks and this is a Paris event I'm already looking forward too.
