Very crowded event. For tourists who don’t know better (moi/us), you have to go early enough to position yourself, else, you’re trying to see behind a whole bunch of people. What was funny was that when the ceremony started, people who had cell phones held them up to be able to film the event, so there was a sea of people with cell phones pointed towards the drummers and the cannon; it was dark but lit with the light from cell phones, likely not what was intended even for a historic reenactment. I really didn’t/couldn’t see a thing, just heard the cannon being shot. Then afterwards, if you don’t have a light (your phone), you’re stumbling in the dark to the front by following a sea of people. The vendor area was better lit than the viewing area. Hmm.
