The shuttle loop will include stops at the majority of the festival venues, and additional stops will be added for the Opening and Closing events.

You can also use car services and taxis to get around.

Festival Headquarters

As always, c/o The Maidstone will serve as the HIFF Headquarters this fall.

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.
