Getting To Maine
If you are driving, it is about a 12 hour drive from Ohio and 8 hours from Buffalo. You could make a road trip out of it and make your way up the New England coast through Boston, Salem (perfect for October!), New Hampshire, and Southern Maine. It is going to be peak foliage this time of year so you will be in for a beautiful drive. If you are flying, you have two options. Boston Logan International (BOS) airport is going to give you the most likelihood of a direct flight. From there you could rent a car, then it's a 2 hour drive up to Portland. If you're renting a car from BOS, you need to take the Blue Line Shuttle to get to the car rental building. You can also fly into Portland (PWM, please don't end up in Portland, Oregon!). It is a very small airport so you will likely have a connection and prices can be higher, and we find the departing flights to be less reliably on time, but it is more convenient if you don't want to drive from Boston. Boston = better prices and more availability, Portland = closer to the destination.
Travel Note
Where to Stay
The weekend of 10/18/25 is the first "off-season" weekend in Maine so if you start looking now there should be good availability. We recommend looking for accommodations in the following towns nearby the venue: -Gray, New Gloucester (This is where the venue is, it's more rural so there won't be hotels, but there are Airbnb's/VRBO and Bed & Breakfasts) -Freeport (We are staying here at the Harraseeket, there are a few other hotels, it's a quaint little town about 15 minutes from the venue) -Yarmouth, Cumberland, Falmouth, Windham (all towns between the venue and Portland) -Portland (biggest city so there are a lot of options, downtown is very walkable and there's fun stuff to do and see) -South Portland, Westbrook (Right outside of Portland, not walkable but only a short drive into Portland)
