Local shops are pulling shutters while dancers still fill the street. Is that a bedtime-end cue, or normal late habit. Not cardboard mats, not doorway lean offers, and not locals packing kids into tuks.

Normal late habit more often than an end cue — many shops close on their own clock while the cortege continues. Use lit fronts that stay open as landmarks, and do not treat shutter noise as fireworks-soon or almost-over.
