- Arrive early on Saturday to secure a good spot for the Christmas parade, as it's a popular event.
- Check the event schedule closer to the date for the specific movie title and any potential changes to the lineup.
- Bring cash for food vendors and any small purchases from local artisans, as not all may accept cards.
- Consider parking in designated areas slightly away from the immediate downtown core to avoid congestion.
