Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) is the closest major airport if you plan on flying in. Approximately 25 miles, with travel time around 30-40 minutes. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is the closest second airport just under an hour away. The largest airport in nearby is Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) but it is around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes away, depending on traffic.

When booking a train thru the BWI Amtrak/MARC Station in advance, this can be the most affordable travel option. This station is right next to the BWI.

Airbnb
There are a ton of good Airbnb options. We would suggest searching anywhere downtown or in Eastport first (we live in Eastport and the Welcome Party will be in Eastport), but there are also some good options over by the venue. Shuttles will be provided to the hotels, but there is no shortage of Ubers.
