More than 40,000 revelers are expected to descend on the city center.
Revelers who want a good view arrive early in the afternoon.
However, would-be revelers might be advised to make travel arrangements quickly.
When the final vote is cast and everyone is sent out to join the revelers, they don't know who the winner is either.
Police advised revelers not to come to the fireworks display without a ticket and to be ready to have their belongings searched.
Revelers in orange and brown were changing out kegs of beer and finishing off burgers and dogs.
