Question

How should I travel to the venue?

Answer

A shuttle for people staying at or near the Hampton Inn & Suites, Homewood Suites, and Residence Inn will pick up from the Hampton Inn & Suites at 3:45PM. These three hotels are across the street from each other so we ask that everyone meets outside the Hampton Inn & Suites for pick up. A return shuttle will leave Newport Beach House at 10:00PM and drop off at Hampton Inn & Suites. Uber/Lyft is also readily available in Newport. There is a parking lot at the venue with free parking if you prefer to drive, however, you cannot leave your vehicle overnight.
