Driving
Marblehead is well-connected by Route 128 (I-95) and Route 1A along the North Shore. We recommend arriving by 3:30 PM on Saturday to allow time for parking.
From Boston
Take I-93 N to Route 128 N (I-95), then exit onto MA-114 E toward Marblehead. Follow signs to Beach Street. Allow 45–60 minutes from downtown Boston, more on weekends.
Parking
Limited parking is available at the venue. We will provide additional parking details with your formal invitation. We encourage carpooling and ridesharing where possible. A shuttle service from the hotel block to the venue is being arranged — details to follow.
Rideshare & Taxi
Uber and Lyft both operate in Marblehead, though availability may be limited late at night on the North Shore. We strongly recommend arranging return transportation in advance, especially for the end of the reception.
Local cab companies serving Marblehead include Marblehead Taxi and North Shore Taxi — we recommend saving a number ahead of time.
Getting Around Marblehead
Marblehead is a small, walkable town and most hotels, restaurants, and harbor views are within easy reach on foot. The historic Downtown (called "Old Town") is charming to explore. We recommend comfortable shoes for the cobblestones.
If you have extra time before or after the weekend, Salem (15 min away) and Gloucester (30 min) are worth a visit.
