Tips

In case of bad weather, there is a possibility of cancellation; confirm with the organizers on the day. At night, the ground is dark, so use your phone's light for safety. After the show, the road to the parking area becomes crowded, so lingering a bit to enjoy the afterglow before heading home is recommended.

Best time to visit

In time for the 7:30 PM start. Secure a good viewing spot 30 minutes before the start.
