Tips

In case of rain, the event is postponed to Sunday, August 23, so check the festival's official website for announcements on the day. Parking near the venue is limited, so early arrival is recommended. Roads in the area get crowded after the event ends, so it's smoother to linger for a while and enjoy the afterglow before heading home.
