What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Visible page text states Saturday, November 21, 2026 (consistent with the organizer's July 2026 press release), but the page's embedded structured data lists November 26, 2026, 10:00-13:00. End time 13:00 comes only from that structured data. Children's Pavilion and Holiday Village pages do not print a calendar date.
