Travel
The closest airport is Traverse City (TVC) which is a 30 minute drive from Fountain Point. You can rent a car or take a taxi from the airport. View Driving Directions
The driving time from Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is 4.5 hours.
Prices often go up as summer approaches and there are limited flights in and out of Traverse City so we recommend you booking your tickets sooner than later.
CAR RENTAL
Renting a car isn't necessary, as all of the events will take place at Fountain Point, and the town of Lake Leelanau is about a 20 minute walk from the grounds (and you can take boats into town too!) However, it is recommended as the surrounding area is a beautiful national park worth exploring. Think about getting a groups of friends/family to potentially rent a car together to share for the weekend.
