By Bus: Several bus lines run up and down James Street, specifically the Eastwood/Sunnycrest and East Syracuse/Shoppingtown routes. Check the Centro Bus schedules at www.centro.org/CNYCENTROSchedules.aspx for the route(s) that best suit your travel needs.

By Train/Greyhound Bus: The Centro Regional Transportation Center is located west of the theater and is about 15 minutes travel time away. There are taxi services available and local city bus routes that can take you to a transfer stop. Please be careful to plot your arrangements well in advance to be sure that your travel time doesn’t cut into your festival time.

By Plane: Hancock Airport is located north of the theater, around 15 minutes travel time away. Taxi or car is your best bet to get from there to the festival.

Where to Stay:

We recommend one of the many many many hotels located around Carrier Circle. There are a wide range of hotel chains sure to meet any price range, and they are all situated right off NYS Thruway exit #35. Driving distance to the Palace Theater is roughly 3 miles – head south on Rt-635/Thompson Road to James Street and make a right.

As we are currently a smaller local organization, we do not have any special hotel rates reserved at present. If you are coming in from out of town (and we are THRILLED to have you!) you can contact us, and if there is enough interest we will do what we can to arrange a special rate for the event.
