A homemade cart race in the morning, Zootopia 2 on a big screen in the square at dusk, and the order we'd do it in so you catch the fireworks too.
Outdoors
There's probably one a few streets from your door, where a monitor gets kids into games together, and the map shows the nursery yards that put out sandboxes for kids under six.
The giant Blauet turns 25 and the neighborhood throws him a hot-chocolate morning before giants from across the city walk in. There is one stop made for small kids.
Food & Drink
The 65 chestnut stands the city licensed last year, all on one map. Most return to the same corner, so you can find the one on your walk home.
