Cleared for the visual to XXR; we turned base to final at around 1;000 ft. right over a [special event]. No TFR was active. While we operate in and out of airports in populated areas all the time; better situational awareness would have prevented this unnecessary risk of overflying a crowd. The FAA had issued a Letter to Airmen highlighting the effect on the [special event]; focusing on increased traffic; delays; etc. We had briefed the letter and focused on the highlighted increase in traffic; however; a more thorough assessment would have revealed the proximity of the event in relation to the airport/traffic pattern; risk of drones overflying the event; and risk of helicopters around the event. In the future; a more in depth assessment will occur when we are operating near these types of events.
A Corporate Pilot reported flying over an event that likely had helicopters and UAS operating in the area.
