Tips

Confirm the fireworks launch time and details in advance through official festival announcements. In case of bad weather, the event may be cancelled or postponed. After the event ends, the surrounding roads and parking areas become congested, so it's recommended to linger in the festival grounds for a while and then move once the congestion subsides.

Best time to visit

Coordinate with the fireworks launch time and secure your viewing spot 20-30 minutes before it begins
