You're reading: Playing with fire

This two-day festival is all about fire, circus and tricks.

Some 500 artists from all over the world will demonstrate their astonishing skills of taming the fire during the first day of the show, which marks its fifth birthday this year.

You can join a festive parade: Wear something bright and bring a mask for that.

The second day will be for those who want to play with fire themselves. You’ll get a chance to learn the basics of fire tricks, play the drums and draw graffiti with the help of flames.

At the end of the festival, best fire artists from the UK, France, Ireland, and Germany, among others will present a grand show.
