Spirited Away @ Institut Lumière

Feeling like partying with firefighters? Let's go to the FLUO PARTY hosted by the firefighters of Lyon Confluence who invite you to the most beautiful fire station in the 2nd arrondissement for a crazy night. Starting at 9pm, you'll find yourself in a friendly atmosphere before the clubbing takes over at 11pm. There will be entertainment, gifts, shows, and tons of other surprises. The only requirement: come dressed in fluorescent colors! And if you set the dance floor on fire, no one will be there to put out the flames... What an irony!
