French pyrotechnics company Groupe F, the artists behind the Eiffel Tower's millennium display and London's new year celebrations have offered the only free event in the Adelaide Festival with a combination of smoke and fireworks.
While the fireworks could be seen and heard by all, the men with spinning fire wheels on their backs could not be seen by everyone on the ground.
It was the perfect occasion for the Premier Mike Rann for another election appearance, amongst boos and cheers from the crowd.
