Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving 30–45 minutes before the 20:00 fireworks is a guide, though the festival itself starts at 16:00. Good spots in the park go by evening, so coming early is one option.

With kids

The venue is a baseball field in a sports park. Expect a long stay from afternoon into the night — pack water and plan rest breaks, and hold children's hands in the departure crowds.

Photography tips

Photos are welcome; be considerate when using a tripod in crowds. For starmine shots against the night sky, steady the camera well to avoid blur.

Payment

There is no paid seating and parking is free. No stalls are listed, so bring your own food and drinks.
