For those flying in you can fly to RDU (Raleigh Durham International Airport). It is about 25 minutes from downtown Raleigh. You can rent a car at the airport or take a Lyft [use this link for $5 off your first two rides]. When departing it is a pretty small airport so you can walk to any gate easily. If you do fly out Sunday am, like 6am Sunday, expect a long security line!
There are plenty of Ubers and Lyfts, electric scooters, and some electric bikes in Raleigh! You can also rent a car if you want to get around to more places. Our venue does not have parking so you will have to park in a deck/on the street if you decide to drive to the venue instead of rideshare.
Hotels
Glenwood Avenue (Downtown Raleigh)
This is the nightlife street of downtown Raleigh. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, a grocery store, coffee shops etc that are walkable - everything you need to not feel stuck in your hotel all weekend!
These downtown hotels will be slightly pricier options:
The Casso 2 min drive, 8 min walk to the venue
If this space works for your budget, it is our TOP PICK due to its proximity to the venue.
AC Hotel by Marriot 3 min drive, 9 min walk to the venue
Great rooftop bar. Get the papas fritas.
Crossroads Blvd (Cary, NC)
If you’d like to opt for something farther from downtown, and more affordable I’d recommend looking at the dozen hotels located around
Crossroads Blvd in Cary (about a 15 minute drive to the venue)
These include Marriot/Hilton hotels and more! There are lots of shops in this area including a Target, Starbucks, Panera, clothing stores, etc. You could take a quick Lyft to the shopping center and mozy around or walk (depending on the hotel distance/your passion for walking)
Airbnb
We love Airbnbs - especially if you’re in a group that wants to hang out or cook meals at home. We recommend staying in one in downtown/west Raleigh or Cary. If you find one and want us to check on the location send a quick text to Becky 717-606-6852 with the link and she’ll give her thoughts!
