For those of you who have never been and have nothing to do tonight, it's the finale.

I thought it was awesome. The fireworks are really cool and it's something fun and different. We parked a couple of blocks away at about 7pm and there were no issues with that at all. There are a lot of "typical" festival booths to buy things, as well as a bunch of ethnic food vendors. I didn't see any, but there are also live performances put on by various ethnic groups.

The fireworks started around 10 after about 1/2 hour of speeches (which was a bit tedious, but they do have to acknowledge the sponsors, and they weren't horrible).

Anyway, check it out! It's a fun event and depending on who you're with you still have lots of time to go out after or get home early.

Oh, almost forgot. Bring a chair and blanket/sleeping bag. You'll be sitting there for a while and it does get chilly!
