I know I will be traveling, when should I book a room?
Please choose a place to stay as soon as possible! The number of discounted rooms at Ballast Hotel is dependent on hotel availability. The sooner you book, the more time we have to expand our room block and allow other guests a discounted rate.
Where will I park?
There is ample street parking around the venue, two large parking lots a block away: River Place Parking Lot (14 Grace St, Wilmington, NC 28401) + Water Street Parking Deck (210 N Water St, Wilmington, NC 28401) and the local hotels also offer onsite parking as well.
Are children invited?
Due to limited space, we are unable to extend the invitation to children.
