Public transportation is highly recommended as large crowds are expected. Please check the latest local information regarding road conditions and congestion on the day of the event.

Tips for Participation

Preparation is key to enjoying the fireworks to the fullest. Since the display duration is very short, it is best to secure a viewing spot 15–30 minutes before the start time.
