Getting Here
How do I get there?
It’s easy to get to Prince Edward Island! You can fly in and out of Charlottetown (YYG) with Air Canada, WestJet and several other airlines such as Swoop, Flair and Porter. Cab fare from the airport to the host hotel (Marriott Delta) is $22. Driving is also an option via the Confederation Bridge or the Northumberland Ferries. Parking is available at the hotel for $19 + tax per day. There is very limited street parking in the area.
Tell me more about the hotels?
All hotels listed on our website are smoke free and are accessible. The host hotel is the Delta Hotel and Convention Centre. It boasts a beautiful waterfront location and is in the downtown core of the city, minutes away from restaurants and shopping. The hotel has underground parking. All workshops and events except for the entertainment will be in the hotel. WIFI is available throughout the facility.
Parking during the Festival
- Limited parking is available at the Delta for $19 a day.
- There is metered parking throughout the city with a maximum two hour limit.
- There are two parkades within a 10 minute walk from the hotel for $12.25 plus tax per day.
- Parking is free evenings and weekends.
What about restaurants?
There are approximately 30-40 restaurants and coffee shops within a ten-minute walk of the hotel. Charlottetown is known as a foodie destination because the Culinary Institute of Canada is located here. To learn more about the city see: discovercharlottetown.com.
What will the weather be like?
Early October weather can be beautiful with mild temperatures during the day and cooler evenings. Daily high temperatures are from 18°C/64°F to 14°C/57°F, rarely falling below 11°C/51°F or exceeding 20°C/68°F. Daily low temperatures are from 10°C/50°F to 8°C/46°F, rarely falling below 6°C/42°F or exceeding 14°C/57°F. The spectacular fall foliage is at its peak around the middle of the month; with luck, you’ll be able to catch some of the colours starting to change.
