I went there last year, I thought it was very good. Will probably go again since it will have new features this year.

My problem (here I bitch again)...

Why open so late on July 19? Why not a month earlier and maybe close in Sep instead of Oct. This festival is best to see it at night, and by late Sep/Oct, it could be quite chilly at night. Summer's over, kids are back to school etc. At least, it should open during the July 1st weekend.

Because it gets darker earlier the later they wait.

But there are 2 films they can see.

We could only manage to see 1 film. By the time we saw the first film, the sky was dark already.

I still think more people will go in late Jun/early July than Oct.

Then why not argue for January?

Oh, yawn.

It's a balance they're looking for. Not dark too late, not too cold; just right.
