Timeline
19:00
Pick up a drink or snack at Ambiyan Restaurant & Bar. It is just a minute’s walk from the festival area and open late, so you can grab something to go before heading to the water.
19:30
Walk 11 minutes west to Toogood Park. This spot is close enough to stay in the festival zone but far enough to feel separate. Find a bench or a quiet patch of grass facing west as the sky turns gold.
20:00
Watch the sun set toward the WNW. The light reflects off Toogood Pond, creating a calm end to the afternoon.
20:30
Head back east for a 2-minute walk to Blacksmith's Bistro. It is open for dinner service until 21:00, making it a perfect spot to settle in for a meal after the sun goes down.
Local tip
The festival runs along Main Street, so you can easily loop back to the shops if you need to grab a jacket or check the schedule before heading to the park.
