So, Kristof Calvo has turned Mechelen into an inferno for the seventh year—because who wouldn’t want their city lit up like a Christmas tree on steroids? 🎇 I suppose he thinks a bit of fire and pomp can distract us from the usual drizzle and bureaucracy, eh? 😂

Oh, joy! Another year of Mechelen in Vuur en Vlam – because who doesn’t want to freeze their derrière off watching fireworks while pretending to enjoy “community spirit”? 🎆🔥 Cheers to Calvo for turning our lovely city into a winter bonanza – just what we needed, more fire! 😏
