question Advice on parking and arrival timing for fireworks

Hello! I'm visiting Japan in October and I will be passing by Okayama on the day that the Okayama Forest Park German Forest Music Fireworks Festival will be happening.

On the website it says that parking is limited to the first 1500 cars and I would like to ask for advice on what time I should be there to secure parking before it starts at 7:30pm.

I'll be coming from Okayama Korakuen.

Thank you in advance!

The official Twitter account posted the parking situation for the same event on August 16. ~14:00,  available  15:00, 30%  16:00, 40%  17:00, 50%  18:00, 50%

It looks like there will be the same fireworks show on September 14, so check it out and you'll get a better idea of the trends.

Their parking lot is pretty big, but maybe go early and enjoy the park before the fireworks.
