Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving about an hour before the 20:00 start works, though entrances get congested. The venue is a schoolground, and surrounding roads and bus stops back up, so allow extra time.

With kids

The festival includes bon dancing and character shows for children. Crowds build at night, so set a meeting point in advance to avoid getting separated.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are fine, but tripods and monopods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff first. The open schoolground makes it easy to frame the full spread of the shells.

Payment

Buy paid seats in advance where possible. Festival stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
