Travel Note
Given the variation and amount of options in Traverse City and the surrounding area, we're not offering room blocks. Check out the Google Doc linked for a whole list of ideas/options.
Flight
There is an airport in downtown Traverse City (TVC) with daily flights for those looking to fly. Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Detroit (DTW) have direct flights.
Rental Car
We highly recommend having a car for the weekend to attend all of the events and easily get around to different areas up and around Traverse City, Grawn, and the Leelanau peninsula. If you're flying in, consider renting a car (there's plenty of options at the airport). And consider pairing up with others to lessen the number of cars needed in total.
