Finally
If you’re using paid viewing seats, it gets extremely crowded during the organized exit after the fireworks. It may take 20 to 30 minutes just to get out of the riverbank area. Security guidance is well organized, but since you’ll be surrounded by a lot of people, we recommend taking precautions against heatstroke, such as using a towel, wetting it with water, and cooling yourself with a portable fan. Have fun!
