Accommodations

Lodging in East Hampton sells out quickly, so make sure to book your room early! It is a holiday weekend (Columbus Day) so many hotels have 3- or 4-night minimums. There are no chain hotels, mostly smaller inns and bed & breakfasts. We will announce the locations offering festival discounts later in the summer.

Southampton also has many hotel options (about 20-30 minutes away).

Sag Harbor, a quaint, historic whaling village (about 15 minutes away) hosts some of our festival venues.

Montauk (about 20 minutes away) is also right on the ocean and has several hotels and motels.
