- Accessibility
- The event is marked accessible, but parts of the parade route are narrow. The park picnic is an outdoor event, so weather, crowd size, grass or park surfaces and the placement of activity points may affect movement with strollers or mobility aids. Detailed event-specific toilet, baby-care and parking information was not confirmed.

Heureka and Heureka's restaurant are open from 10:00 to 18:00. Parts of the parade route are narrow, so banners are asked to be carried sideways or folded narrower at those points.

- Age notes
- The event is open to everyone. For families, the clearest parts are the afternoon park-picnic programme, Mimi & Kuku, glitter painting, circus characters, the library tent and children's activity points. The parade and large park event may be busy, so young children need their own adult close by.
