Questions
What do people wear to Harbourlife?
Dressed-up but functional: one statement piece, comfortable shoes, and a layer because the harbour gets cold after sunset.
Can I wear heels?
You can, but the site is grass and the event runs for hours. Most people wear sneakers or flat boots.
When should I buy?
Three to five weeks before, which is tight for anything made to order.
