What to expect: Full concert PA plus a loud pyrotechnic and drone show (thousands of individual effects) over a densely packed lakeside crowd. This is genuinely one of the most sensory-intense events in this list — not flagged lightly.
Exit options: Very hard to leave once the crowd has packed in for the fireworks finale. If sound/crowd sensitivity is a concern, watch from further back on the hills around the park rather than the lakeside core, or consider skipping this one.
