Notes and potential sources to cite:

If you’d like, I can:
– Produce a ready-to-publish version with exact dates, times, and locations formatted as a clean list.
– Add a short “visitor tips” box for each event (parking, admission, kid-friendly notes).
– Create social-media-friendly blurbs for each festival to share on Facebook or Instagram.
