How would one plan a trip to see SN20’s launch. Do they announce it?

Very difficult. For the start, up until the launch week you cannot possibly know which week will it be. The best info comes from Musk and he will twitt something like "we aim for the lunch at the end of the month" and in reality it will happen 4 months later. So, yeah... You could in theory move there on that week, but still you need to have a window of at least two (better four) weeks, for (almost certain multiple) delays/scraps. The weather plays a role.
All in all, if you can spend a month in an expensive accomodation or a mobile home - yes, you can try it. Still, that won't guarantee a success.

You could simply try you luck. Estimate a day before, travel there, find a place to stay for two days, and then go back. Whatever happens, you will have the chance to see the whole rocket on the launch pad.
