Travel Note
Due to the historic nature of downtown Wilmington, St Thomas does not have parking directly onsite. Luckily, we are able to stay in one spot the entire evening so you will only have to park once! There is a municipal parking garage 1 block north at 116 N 2nd Street. There are also street meter spots that are free after 6:30pm as well as residential meter parking lots about a block from the venue. However, remember that an Uber can drop you off right at the front door!
House Or Rental
If you are looking for a different experience there are tons of Airbnb's around downtown Wilmington. From entire houses to quaint studio apartments overlooking the river you won't be disappointed!
Flight
ILM is located in Wilmington and is the closest airport to the hotel and venue. If you are planning on staying at Hotel Ballast, they do offer a FREE shuttle to and from the airport! There is also the Myrtle Beach airport that is about an hour and a half drive if that works better for you!
Travel Note
Wilmington NC Taxi service has excellent ratings and there are also plenty of Uber's in the area for the more modern folks!
