PLAN YOUR VISIT

Use the modern-history district as your walking route

Arrive before the parade

Explore the museum district first, then check the day’s route for large street performances and reenactments.

Expect road controls

Central streets may close during major programs, so confirm parking and bus notices before driving in.

Stay into the evening

Night programs run after the daytime history activities, with food and shops open across the old downtown area.

Before you go
