Cash in small bills alongside your card, since some vendors are cash-only while others are card-only, plus a sturdy tote or backpack for purchases and a cooler in the car for anything perishable. Go early for selection or the last hour for deals. Walk the full market once before buying, note the two best stalls, then circle back and commit.
Big festivals fill official lots by late morning, so arrive early, use the event's posted satellite lots and shuttles rather than gambling on street parking, and drop a pin on your car the moment you park. Neighborhood streets near events often carry event-day restrictions that generate real tickets. Leaving 20 minutes before the closing act beats sitting in the exit crawl.
Public tours are cheaper per person and fine for one to four people, but the math flips around six-plus: a private booking often costs about the same as individual tickets while letting you set pace, route emphasis, and scare level, and questions flow freely without strangers. Private slots on October weekends book out weeks ahead, so decide early.
