Day 1: the essentials
Day one covers the main sights: the outdoor opener, the cultural anchor, and a good dinner.
Cenotaph
Don't skip Cenotaph. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Day 2: go deeper
Slow down on day two. Revisit a favorite, then see what you missed the first time around.
Isaac Totem
Don't skip Isaac Totem. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Nodar Memorial
Don't skip Nodar Memorial. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Evenings
Both nights deserve a proper ending. If the calendar cooperates, a live event beats a bar; if not, dinner somewhere lively does the job.

Check the calendar for Late Night Opening: Live music with Austin Ross at Pemberton and District Public Library (Monday, October 19, 7 PM) (Other).

Day anchor: Regular Council Meeting at Council Chambers | Zoom on Tuesday, October 27, 11 PM. Mark Oct 27 to Oct 28: Regular Council Meeting at Council Chambers | Zoom, Pemberton. Real events beat generic sightseeing every time; this is the day's anchor.
