Quiet lake walk on the far side, an early dinner, and an early night beat a half-hearted kerb stand. Festival lights still spill without the squeeze.

Hotel balcony or a cafe away from the closed lanes works. Book food before kitchens get slammed by post-parade hunger.

If rain hits, a covered cafe is kinder than a soaked free spot you did not want anyway.
