- Dress warmly in layers, as Georgetown is in the mountains and weather can change quickly. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring the historic streets.
- Bring cash for vendors, as not all may accept cards. While admission is free, many artisan goods and food items will be available for purchase.
- Check the official website for any updates on weather-related cancellations or schedule changes before you travel.
