The mundane stuff outranks the spooky stuff: watch curbs and cobblestones in the dark, keep phones charged with the meeting point saved offline, and stay with the group between stops rather than lagging for photos. Stick to well-reviewed operators whose routes stay in trafficked areas. Going solo? Share the tour name and end time with someone, standard night-out practice.
October is these operators' entire year: weekend slots for well-reviewed tours sell out two to three weeks ahead, and the final two weekends go first. Book September for peak dates, and consider weeknights, same stories, smaller groups, easier booking. For flexible plans, note the operator's cancellation window, commonly 24-48 hours, so a weather pivot doesn't forfeit the fee.
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.
