Next stop: Watch about 3,000 fireworks shells from the banks of the Arida RiverAbout this spot
This is the area around Arida City Hall, the venue for the fireworks festival. With time to spare before the 8:20 pm start, you can spend a relaxed stretch shopping at nearby stores or having dinner. Sunset comes early in October, and the area grows dark past 5 pm, so enjoy the atmosphere of the town at night while waiting for the show to begin.
Tips
A short walk or drive from the Arida River promenade. Since the show starts late, it's a good idea to dress warmly. Roads in the area get crowded on the day, so it's recommended to arrive early.
Best time to visit
About 3 hours needed. It gets especially chilly after sunset, so bring warm clothing
