- Worth noticing
- The site says its archive follows 22 celebrations and keeps historical programs distinct from the still-unannounced 2027 program.
Field notes
The page separates the confirmed date from details that are still pending: program, venues, and admission arrangements. Its archive section points to a timeline, photographs, original documents, and a PDF library, and says the historical materials retain their original dates. One artifact is identified as a 2015 admission button featuring Don Drumm’s “The Phoenix Arising.”
