La Fête nationale au Boulevard Clichy (National Holiday on the Boulevard de Clichy) is a 1878 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a lively street scene with people walking and a lamp post in the center. The street is lined with buildings, and there are flags and decorations hanging from them. The sky is cloudy, and there are birds flying overhead. In the margins, there are small illustrations of people and objects, including a dog, a cat, and a basket of fruit. These illustrations are done in a different style than the main image, with softer lines and more muted colors.

Félix-Hilaire Buhot (1847–1898) was a French artist, born in Valognes.
