It also explains why chasing every line on the timetable can turn a relaxed evening into a race between bridges and crowds. Programmes generally stretch from 16:00 until 23:00, with food trucks and waterside businesses offering reasons to pause. Popular edges fill early, and the event has no single representative street address because several canals function as venues.
