This Saturday, there is an open invite to a night of fire breathing at the basin of Le Palais de Tokyo. It’s the 7th anniversary of the first Saturday gathering organised by the Burn Crew Concept, back in 2004. Performers will ribbon dance, juggle flames and create fireworks amongst other pyrotechnic hijinks from 21h. Magical? You bet. And amazingly – the cost? FREE.

What’s more, for this somewhat underground hobby that is mixing up and playing with heady chemicals, the organisers are very straight-laced when it comes to being good neighbours. Volunteers are recruited to clean up after every event and courtesy notices, dotted around forums and featuring alongside the event announcements, are never an after-thought.
