How this day is put together

The event’s times come from its listing. A food stop is our suggestion: one hour, ending half an hour before the listed start or starting a quarter hour after the listed finish, never in the past. An evening’s stop may run into the next morning; its posted hours must cover the whole visit on the correct operating date. Coffee and snack stops are named as such. When hours do not cover the visit, we say so instead. “Nearest” is a straight line between map locations (OpenStreetMap, or the US Census address location), not a walking or driving route; without a map location, a broad-area match needs a route check. Parking lines come from the event, the venue and the venue’s guides, with equivalent advice shown once. Travel time is not included anywhere.
