Travel Note

From the Airport

If you're flying in, Boston Logan Airport (BOS) will be the closest airport (~35 miles from venue). From there, you have a few options: Uber/Lyft: They'll be available in the Boston area, but aren't as frequent in Gloucester. Renting a car: A good option if you have some extra time in the area and want to check out some neighboring areas while you’re here! Train: The MBTA Commuter Rail can take you from either North Station in Boston or Chelsea all the way up to Gloucester/Rockport area.

Travel Note

Airbnb / VRBO

Airbnb, Vrbo, and Expedia are also great options if you're looking for alternative lodging.
