- Leave folding tables at home, because tables are not allowed on the lawn, though blankets and lawn chairs are fine.
- Download the City of Winter Park's printable parking map before you go, since parking is spread across the street, the Museum lot and city lots.
- Think about taking SunRail, because the event is only a short walk from the station.
