Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on weekends, especially if attending with children, as popular activities like the Advent workshop can fill up quickly.
- Check the official website in autumn for the exact dates and program details for the 2025 season.
- While outside food and drinks are restricted to water in PET bottles, the diverse food truck offerings provide a wide culinary experience.
- Consider attending on a weekday if available, as the event can become crowded on peak weekend days.
- Dress warmly and in layers, as the event is held outdoors at the lake, and fire performances can be enjoyed best in cooler weather.
