*AfterGlow™ fireworks shows will begin as soon as the launch field is clear of balloons, thus thestarting times are approximate and subject to change without notice. Additionally, local police willmodify traffic flows to utilize all traffic lanes for outbound traffic only at the conclusion of each Glowevent. So if you want to watch the AfterGlow™ fireworks shows from the Park, plan to arrive at thePark in time for that evening's glow event.
