Help with selecting the best hotel for you

This newsletter will focus on the official Festival accommodations to help you choose the best option.

Please note that a major benefit of booking your accommodation through the Festival website is that you will also be able to book the shuttles, which will run between the hotels and Festival site throughout the day.
