Lit main streets with other walkers beat the darker lake path after the cortege. Stay where groups are moving toward hotels, not empty shoreline stretches.

If you can walk beyond the densest ring then hail Grab or PickMe, do that — surge is real but safer than a long solo lakeside.

Share a live location with someone before you leave the curb, and keep the umbrella down so you can see and be seen.
