Free ‘Fire Festival’ Comes to Bushwick Tonight (Not That Fyre Festival)

Are you drawn to flame like, uh, a moth to the flame? Are you looking for something exciting to fill your Wednesday evening? Tonight there’s a free fire festival (no, not that Fyre Festival) in Bushwick. Featuring “fire performers, jugglers, fire breathers and circus acts,” according to Instagram, Combustion NYC will showcase the “fire arts” and “flow arts,” as they’re known to enthusiasts.

The event — apparently the first of its kind in New York — is sponsored by Flowtopia, a Bushwick-based “fire boutique,” and the Floasis, a performance and education venue for fire-eating, fire-dancing, and flow arts.

The event runs from 7pm to 9:30pm tonight, June 28, in Maria Hernandez Park.
