The Eaton Workshop is the festival’s hospitality headquarters, located within easy walking distance to a number of the festival venues, as well as the Smithsonian museums and Capitol Hill. It is also home to one of the festival’s screening venues, The Eaton Cinema, and the festival box office. Festival guests can book their stay at the boutique hotel.
There are three major airports in the Washington, DC region: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), located just 15 minutes from downtown DC; Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD); and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).
If you’d rather travel to DC on the ground, we are just an Amtrak away. Amtrak has frequent daily departures from major cities throughout the Northeast, Southeast, and even Chicago. Trains arrive at Union Station, bringing you to the heart of DC. Amtrak offers large spacious seats, plenty of legroom, free WiFi, and you can bring two carry-ons and two bags for free. If you book over two weeks in advance, you can get the best fares with Amtrak Saver Fares.
