What should I be doing the days leading up to my competition date?

Hello,

I have never competed in a weightlifting competition before in my life outside of throwing the shot and discus in track. I am competing april 15th for a strongman competition. My events and weights are as listed:
Axle clean and press: 175 for reps 60 seconds
Yoke Walk: 545lbs for distance 60 seconds
13" tire deadlift: 425lbs for reps 60 seconds
Husafell Carry: 250lbs for distance 60 seconds
Stone over bar 50": 238lbs for reps 60 seconds

So my question is; What do I do during the days leading up to my competition? I obviously shouldn't lift heavy, but I should still lift right? How light? Do I stretch a lot? What should I eat? Do I rest the day before?

Thank you in advance for any advice that you give me.

Usually 7-14 days out begin reloading and the last 3-4 days out cut out training. However that is what I do for a powerlifting meet, strongman is different as i dont compete in that. However pretty similar on rest days.
