to our Xmas parade etc. where you just muscle in and wait.
I think you should be out on the streets early in the evening maybe 5pm to 6pm , and just wander along soaking up the atmosphere.
There will be impromptu "street theatre" happening with locals dressed in traditional costume and with brightly painted faces.
Talk to the locals, or watch to see where people congregate and these will be the places to be.
Personally, I hate standing in one place for too long waiting for something to happen.
"Drag" the kids around the streets, follow the crowd, and you will find that they will become as fascinated as you.
