Tips

In the event of bad weather, the fireworks may be canceled or rescheduled, so confirm whether they'll be held beforehand. Since the fireworks end in a short time, be sure to arrive at your viewing spot by the start time. After the show, the parking lot and surrounding roads get congested, so enjoy the afterglow a bit before leaving.
