While fireworks and laser shows are the main attraction, each evening, at 6 p.m., there will be additional festival flair and a market to shop. Live music will fill the air, fire artists and other performing artists will dazzle crowds and the Ochsenfurt play construction site will have a selection of games, hands-on activities as well as a puppet show for families and children.

To plan, tickets should be purchased online at flammende-sterne.de. There are two options a “day ticket” which grants you access to the event area and a “seat ticket” which includes sectioned-off seating to watch the fireworks displays more comfortably.
