There is free parking available at the venue or you can Uber/Lyft. We also have shuttles that will go to the Newport Harbor Hotel (49 America's Cup Ave Newport, RI) and the Holiday Inn (855 West Main Road Middletown, RI) at 4:00pm and leave by 4:10pm. Even if you are not staying here you are welcome to uber to one of these pickup locations if you would prefer to take the shuttle. At the end of the night the early bus will leave at 9:30pm, with the last bus leaving at 11:00pm. The drop off location will be the same as pick up.
The ceremony starts at 5:00pm. Since Newport can be pretty busy in the summer we recommend getting to the venue between 4:30 and 5:00, so you don't miss anything!
Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoor at the Eisenhower House. The reception will be under a tent. There is also access to sit inside and walk around the Eisenhower House throughout the event.
