Bring a chair or blanket and arrive early. There are many food vendors, but expect to stand in long lines if you do not arrive early. If you are light sensitive bring sunglasses, the glasses also help protect from the fireworks debris. If you have sensitive hearing, bring earplugs. If you have PTSD and are triggered by bright flashes of light or loud booms, you may want to skip this event. NO PETS, NO TENTS, NO CANOPIES and NO LARGE COOLERS. Soft carry totes are allowed.

We generally sit near the fence on the same side as the VIP area, which is to the right of the stage. Look for Meetup shirts and yellow bandanas along the fence line. There is a picture in the photo section that has an arrow pointing to where we generally sit. It is the INTENSE SEATING area on the map.

The band will again be performing for an hour after the fireworks. Stay to avoid the traffic, dance, and celebrate Nakita. BTW, it’s Nakita’s birthday, so we let her think that this celebration is all for her. ;) See you there!
