The festival operates from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with the main fireworks show, lasting approximately 70 minutes, taking place from 8:00 PM to 9:10 PM.
On the day of the festival, traffic controls will be in effect on Yeouidong-ro and Wonhyo Bridge, and Yeouinaru Station will be temporarily controlled. Nodeul Island offers paid viewing zones accessible only to ticket holders, with prices ranging from 110,000 KRW for Zone 1 to 220,000 KRW for Zone 4.
