Yeouido Fireworks Festival with Children, Wheelchairs and Families: A Safe Route Guide

Plan before you leave

Do not assume a stroller can enter the venue; assess whether the child can safely manage the walking distance and whether leaving early is realistic. For a wheelchair user, ask staff on arrival about the accessible viewing area, toilets and exit route because space and access can vary with crowd conditions.

Agree on a meeting point, a guardian’s role and a contact number before entering the crowd. Arrive early enough to locate toilets, exits and staff. A simple shared visual marker is useful, but tall flags and large balloons can be restricted because they block views.

What to do on site

Keep bags and any permitted mat away from pathways and exits. Bring only a light layer, water, wipes, a small snack and contact information. Tents, chairs and bulky comfort gear are not an alternative to planning rest and exit time.

Avoid the immediate post-show rush when possible. Leave early if a child is tired, cold or overwhelmed, or rest until the first wave has passed. If anyone feels unwell or gets separated, do not run against the crowd; ask the nearest safety or event staff member for help.

Final check

A flexible plan is a safety feature. Prioritize the group’s condition and staff direction over watching every minute of the program.

• Check the stroller restriction and wheelchair access plan
• Set a meeting place and emergency contact
• Find toilets and exits after arrival
• Keep passages completely clear
• Plan an early or delayed departure option
