3. WHERE IS THIS EVENT IN RELATION TO THE NATIONAL PARK AREA? 
- Our event is held in the upper town area, above the historic park area. For those who also want to visit the historic park area with shops and museums, it is a 15-20 minute walk from the upper town where our venues are located to the lower park area. You can also enter from the Park area, use the shuttle for the day, and experience some of our daytime events from that entrance (check Park shuttle information, you will need to do some walking to and from the upper and lower areas).

We recommend centering your acitvity in the upper town area. You might consider spending an extra day and visiting the historic village the day before, or the day after, our events.
