Tips for a Smooth Night
- Bring money for food (and maybe a little extra if the kids want dessert).
- Arrive closer to 6 p.m. if you want shorter lines; later is fine if you're aiming for the music.
- Wear comfortable shoes—you'll be walking between trucks and the lawn.
- Pair it with the neighborhood. Evans Towne Center Park sits near shops and the library wing of Towne Center if you want to stroll before or after.
