Tips Before You Go

  • Double-check the official link the day you plan to attend (weather, schedule tweaks, cancellations).
  • For Saturday events, arrive early—parking fills faster than you think, even in smaller downtowns.
  • If it’s “TBA” for time or price, assume it may require registration and look for updated details closer to the date.
  • Bring layers. February can flip from sunny to chilly fast—especially if you’re doing an outdoor stop first.
  • For museum days, consider buying tickets ahead if the link offers timed entry or reservations.
