Tips

Check the organizer's announcement for whether the event will go ahead in case of severe weather. Parking and roads in the area get crowded afterward, so it's best to enjoy the lingering atmosphere for a while before heading home with a bit of a time gap. It's dark underfoot at night, so having a flashlight or your phone's light ready is reassuring.
