🎃 Designate a meetup spot — cell service gets spotty in big festival crowds.

🎃 Arrive before noon — parking and popular food lines get rough by mid-afternoon.

🎃 Bring cash and card — some vendors are cash-only, others card-only; cover both.

🎃 Check the schedule — headliners, costume contests, and parades-within-the-festival have set times.

🎃 Wear layers and comfy shoes — you’ll be walking all day and October weather swings.
