Today’s Highlights
Check if these are happening—some updates still need confirming:

• Many events recommend or require a “button” or ticket (especially for IGH Days) for entry or participation.
• Weather can affect outdoor events; the city updates weather-related cancellations via its official hotline.
• Keep an eye on VisitIG.H and the official city calendar—they often post last-minute additions and changes.
