欢乐之火(英語:Feu de joie,语源自法语“篝火”)是源自英国,利用步枪营造气氛的喜庆仪式,呈现的方式是由成列的步枪队对空中连续发出枪响,制造出“啪——哒——哒——”的声效。这种仪式是用在全国欢庆的庆典中,在18-19世纪时,只有在庆贺军事胜利和君主诞辰的场合才会使用。英国最近一次出现这种仪式,是在庆贺英女王伊丽莎白二世80岁诞辰钻禧的庆典。[1]

1868年,加拿大皇家卫队在渥太华国会山庄以“欢乐之火”庆贺维多利亚女王诞辰

在英国以外,加拿大皇家军事学院英语Royal Military College of Canada、澳洲邓特伦皇家军事学院英语Royal Military College, Duntroon纽西兰国防军新加坡国庆庆典也有“欢乐之火”的传统和仪式。[2][3][4]
