At the Street Parade, which will take place in hot weather, the focus is on alcohol consumption. A doctor explains that high temperatures can intensify the effects of alcohol, putting additional strain on the body. This combination could pose health challenges for both revelers and organizers.

According to reports, retailers, particularly Coop and others, significantly benefit from alcohol sales during the event. Starting from 1 PM, a large quantity of alcohol is consumed, allowing retailers to adjust their offerings and financially profit from the situation. They are expected to generate substantial sales until 10 PM.
