You're in for a deeply moving liturgy very rich with symbolism. Among other things, this Mass has two very stark contrasts...

Bells and Organ at the Gloria and then a wooden clapper and subdued singing

Triumphant Procession of Our Lord and then the somber stripping of the altar(s).

I would say "Enjoy" but that is not the appropriate word to use for attending Mass, but you know what I mean.

Will you be attending liturgies on all 3 days? Tenebrae?

I do know what you mean. Everything in the TLM, each and every little action and gesture, even the vestments of the priest are like a mini catechism. Everything in the church, the statues, the architecture draws your heart and mind to focus on God.

I'm not sure what you mean. This is the schedule that we have in the bulletin:

There is a mission Monday-Wednesday with stations, confession, sermon and mass.

Thursday: confessions, then High Mass w/ Mandatum & Adoration

Friday: confessions, then the Rosary, then 7 Sorrows chaplet, then Stations, then 3pm Ceremony

Saturday: confessions, then 10:30 pm Vigil

Sunday: confessions and High Mass

Would you explain what is meant by "Tenebrae" for me please, tell me what to expect?
