More and more municipalities in the Netherlands and Belgium restrict or ban consumer fireworks, and most venues never allowed them. The good news: there is an alternative that is at least as spectacular β€” and usually simply permitted.

Why a fire show is often allowed where fireworks are not

Fireworks fall under strict launch rules and permits; a professional fire act falls under the venue's own event rules and works with controlled fire at eye level β€” no bangs, no projectiles, no debris. Nuno coordinates with the venue in advance and keeps the prescribed safety distances.

Fire show versus fireworks

  • Up close β€” guests stand metres from towering fireballs.
  • Quieter β€” no bangs: suitable for residential areas, campsites and pets nearby.
  • Longer β€” not thirty seconds of sparkle but a 10–30 minute show on your music.
  • Weatherproof β€” a fire show goes ahead in wind and light rain.

For which moments

Popular at weddings (a grand finale instead of fireworks), New Year's Eve and receptions, corporate events and public events that cannot get a fireworks permit. A closing show costs between €350 and €595 β€” see all prices or request a quote; an answer within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know first

Is a fire show really allowed where fireworks are banned?

Usually yes: a professional fire act falls under the venue's or event's rules, not fireworks law. Nuno coordinates this directly with the venue in advance.

Is it as spectacular as fireworks?

Different and closer: towering fireballs metres away, on music and with interaction β€” guests experience it more intensely than fireworks a hundred metres up.

What does it cost?

Between €350 and €595 for a 10–30 minute closing show β€” usually far cheaper than professional display fireworks including the permit process.

Does it work for New Year's Eve?

Especially then: a countdown show to midnight is the perfect replacement for fireworks β€” do book December well ahead.
