Fire Jugglers Perform at Cortlandt Manor in A NIGHT ON FIRE, 5/26

A band of fire jugglers will light up the evening at historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson during "A Night on Fire," a brand new event taking place Saturday, May 26.

Beginning at 8 p.m., this one-hour, one-evening-only performance is a fully choreographed, live display of fire arts featuring four flame-wielding, fire-eating performers twisting and turning, juggling and dancing, spinning and sword fighting.

Produced and performed by the juggling and comedy troupe A Different Spin, "A Night on Fire" will feature spectacular stunts and family friendly humor and is ideal for audiences of all ages.

Though it is a separate ticketed performance, "A Night on Fire" is a complement to Animals & Acrobats, which takes place 10-5pm at Van Cortlandt Manor on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday-Monday. Featuring a variety of performers and animal conservation groups, Animals & Acrobats evokes an early-American traveling circus.

Members of Historic Hudson Valley, the non-profit education and preservation organization that owns and operates Van Cortlandt Manor, receive a $5 per ticket discount.
