Tips

In case of bad weather, the event may be canceled or postponed, so check the city's official announcement on the day for confirmation. After the finale, surrounding roads become congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the lingering atmosphere of the finale before departing with a time delay. The rural area has limited street lights, so it's helpful to bring a flashlight.
