A few tips for festival week

• Plan for winter. January in Boulder can bring snow and cold mornings. Leave a little extra time between screenings.
• Allow for festival traffic. Streets and parking near downtown venues will be busier than usual during the festival.
• Check the official schedule. Venues and programming can change, so confirm details with the festival before you go.
