Any festivals/attractions/concerts/other "can't miss" things going on that you'd want to catch?

Anything you did (or wish you did) on your visit that you'd recommend?

Thanks
Lifestyle visits are great. We enjoyed ours back in 2017 (I think...). But really they don't even scratch the surface of what TV has to offer. That was true seven years ago and with all the expansion, is far more true today.

Post #2 has some good advice. A visit in August and a visit in February would pretty much cover the gamut as far as how living here varies with the seasons. I would add to that that in addition I would also rent--say the entire month of February and the entire month of August, not just a week each. Use the time not only to explore TV but also to talk to people: we rented close to LSL and found that striking up conversations with locals at Starbucks during morning coffee and scones was a great way to learn about the place. It really takes a couple of years living here to really understand how TV operates and what it offers, but a couple of months will give you a pretty good general idea of just what TV is.
