Treasure Map Note
Mid-October by the river looks pretty mild, with daytime highs expected to reach around 19–23°C and lows of 10–13°C.
Mornings and evenings can feel a little chilly, though, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket or an extra layer to stay comfortable.
Light drizzle is expected on October 21 and 23, so if you're planning to visit on either of those days, packing a small umbrella or a lightweight rain jacket would be a smart move.
The festival has plenty for families to enjoy, including a nature playground for kids and outdoor yoga sessions on the lawn for adults. And the best part? It's free to attend!
Since activities run on different schedules, be sure to check the program times before heading out so you don't miss anything.
