Guests may reserve a space in the Gardens after 3:00 pm. For the best viewing experience, guests are encouraged to bring a lightweight folding chair or rental chairs can be purchased for $5 each while supplies last. In our efforts to create the best Fireworks and Fountains experience for all attendees, BLANKETS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.

In the event of inclement weather, every effort will be made to set off Fireworks as scheduled—however, two rain dates are scheduled for each display. The decision to cancel the show is made 15 minutes prior to show time.

On Fireworks & Fountains days, the Main Fountain Garden 5-minute daytime shows will not run. The Open Air Theatre will run special 5-minute shows set to music hourly.
