How to tailor the plan
- If you want a specific vibe (family-friendly, date night, budget-friendly, or outdoor/outdoor-friendly), tell me your preference and how much time you’ve got (e.g., Saturday afternoon to evening, or Sunday morning only).
- I can assemble a 2–3 hour partial itinerary or a full day plan with exact venues, addresses, and times, plus clever overlaps to minimize travel.
Local tips
- Check the official venue pages for last-minute changes and weather contingencies, especially for outdoor events.
- Use transit apps or Google Maps to verify weekend service changes and plan efficient routes between venues.
