Five days of events throughout the city
Starting the festival off with a bang is the first festival mascleta, a daytime fireworks display that makes its impact with sound rather than light. A barrage of gunpowder percussion, rocket whistles and clouds of smoke will let you know the festival has begun wherever you are in the city. The best vantage point will be outside City Hall. And listen out for the festival salute at 5:30pm each festival night, marking the end of the working day and the start of festival fun.

Parisian company Friches Theatre Urbain specialises in large-scale, outdoor promenade performances - Mephistomania is a stunning spectacle that will weave its way through the streets of Norwich.
