I ran a group of 5 friends through Little Trouble in Big Absalom and they had a fantastic time and wanted to keep playing. I told them what adventures I had available, and they wanted to play AoE, which I am totally down for. Only one of them wanted to play something other than a slight variation on their LTiBA Kobold characters, so...we gonna Keystone this thang all the way! They roped in another friend, who wants to play an Ysoki Monk. The undecided fellow wants to play an Investigator, but hasn't announced race yet. I'm kind of hoping for a stodgy older human for maximum comedic impact.
If the unannounced player winds up playing a race with Darkvision or even Low-light I may try retooling the adventure so that they're officially the Night Shift, but I'm not sure how to square that with the Parade plot in Book Two (or if there'd be similar conflicts in later books; Book Two is as far as I've read in detail beyond the synopses. Any tips on that or ideas on wrangling a bunch of zany-as-hell Kobolds through this AP?

This post contain spoilers.
So, as you might have seen, there is a interaction with a Kobolb group in book 1, in the Pagoda. Maybe that could turn out as a non-combat encounter.
In book 2, the agents are investigating the thing they find out about in book 1. In book 3 they drop everything else to investigate their leads. So, after the beggining of book 1, they stop patrolling the street. Maybe your "night shift" gimmick would fall short then.
There are 3 momments (once in book 1, twice in book 3) that the group have to disguise themselves... Please, do the "two kobolds in a trench coat".
Thanks for the pointers! I can't wait to see if they suggest the trenchcoat on their own...

One of the players just pointed out that we have 4 fighting reptiles, a martial arts master rat, and a human (half-elf) investigator.

Heroes for the Festival, Kobold power!
Consider applying the weak template to the ankrag and not making the rust monster elite when they go for the zoo.
Your team sounds fun but agents of edgewatch can be deadly and having an all martial team is suboptimal.

So, couple of misapprehensions, here. For one thing, I've started the team at 2nd level to reflect their having survived the Little Trouble module. I upped the DCs on the first couple of encounters to accommodate that, which has gone fine so far. I plan to make zero adjustments to the Menagerie, because a pack of 6 level 2s should be just fine.
Second, I'm not sure where you got the idea that they're all martial; maybe the "fighting reptiles" thing, which was mainly in jest to make the reference. The party composition is:
Sorcerer
Monk
Druid
Rogue
Investigator
Fighter
