Check the schedule grid before leaving: parades, contests, and live sets anchor the day, so build around the two you care about most. Arrive before the midday crush for parking and short vendor lines, carry water and sunscreen even in October, and set a meeting point the moment you enter. Two anchored events plus open wandering beats a rigid hour-by-hour plan.
Ask three specifics before booking a tour: total distance, surface type, cobblestones and hills are common on historic routes, and whether the group stops to stand for long stretches, which tires people faster than walking. Many operators run shorter or slower-paced versions on request. Festivals on fairgrounds are generally manageable; grass fields after rain are the exception, so call that week.
First hour for selection, last hour for discounts, pick one. Do a full lap before spending, photograph booths you might return to, and get the vendor's card or social handle for anything you're unsure about, since most sell online year-round. Set a cash cap for impulse buys, and carry purchases in your own tote so nothing gets set down and forgotten.
