Beneath the night breeze of the harbor carrying the scent of the sea, the fireworks viewed by the whole family represent the perfect conclusion to this full day.

Tips

Be sure to confirm the start time from the official announcement on the day. In case of bad weather, the event may be cancelled or postponed. After the display ends, surrounding roads and parking areas will be very congested. Rather than rushing to leave immediately after the fireworks, it's smoother to wait a little while before departing. Some areas are dark underfoot, so use a small light or your smartphone's flashlight to move safely.

Best time to visit

Be sure to secure your viewing spot 20-30 minutes before the scheduled start time.
