Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 3.8 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Cary instead of crossing town between them. Koka Booth Amphitheatre is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Asali Desserts & Cafe — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it.
