🗺️ Tips & Logistics

• Check times & tickets — Some events (Cirque, theater shows, haunted houses) require tickets in advance.

• Weather & lighting — Evening events can be cooler; have a jacket and flashlight (for haunted or outdoor).

• Transportation — Parking might be tight downtown or at festival venues, so public transit or rideshares could help.

• Plan for overlap — With so many options, you may want to pick a “main event” plus a couple of side ones you can swing by.

• Bring essentials — Water, comfortable shoes, phone charger, and (for outdoor) insect repellent.
