- 2Utilize the free shuttle buses from the Heber Valley airport or designated satellite lots to avoid the congested residential streets.

- 4Plan to spend at least five to six hours to fully explore the 180+ vendors and wait in line for the famous Swiss tacos.

- 6Book your lodging in Midway or Heber City at least six months in advance, as hotels reach 100% occupancy for this weekend.
