On the first day of ... The Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Festival - early evening

On the first day of the Wax Castle Festival, the best place to hang out is at the Municipal Grounds, especially in the early evening. It's best to park at a distance and walk in. Traffic is rerouted near the grounds, as "the Castles" are all moved to the display area.    The municipal grounds, across the street from Immigration and Police headquarters is divided in a food court, concert area, castle assembly area, and 'souvenir stalls' It's a non-alcohol event.  My favorite starting point for the evening is across the street of the fair entrance.
