Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.2 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Salina instead of crossing town between them. Stiefel Theatre for the Performing Arts is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Martinelli's Little Italy — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, solo, and adults who want a planned Salina outing without improvising between stops.
