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.
