Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

With kids

The festival offers family-friendly events including the children's festival. Keep children away from the water's edge on the riverbed; a small light helps once it gets dark.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are unrestricted. The music-synced creative fireworks also make great video — set tripods where they won't block foot traffic.

Viewing is free, with paid seating also available. Parking offers 300 free spaces. Festival stalls generally take cash, so carry coins.
