Most performers are practicing the ancient Maori art of Poi, those balls engulfed in flames, swinging from the end of chords. These world-class artists gather to bring you an expo featuring poi, but also hoops, staff, sword and fan dancing set on fire.

Viewing tip: if you don’t get there early, it can be hard to see. Try heading up to the balcony at The Cheesecake Factory at the top Macy’s across the street from Union Square. They have an free outdoor viewing area where you can get a great top-down view of the show – no purchase necessary.
