Headquarters Hotels

Two modern, luxurious hotels serve as the headquarters hotels for the 2009 festival, and both are right next to the Convention Center and within a 5-minute walk of dozens of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops in the downtown Twin City Quarter district.

When you stay at the Marriott or the Embassy Suites, you'll be able to take in all the festival events within a short walk from your hotel room door. The Embassy Suites is connected to the Convention Center via an underground walkway and to the Marriott via a second-floor skywalk.

When making a reservation, be sure to mention the IJA's Group Code for the hotel in order to get the IJA's special room rate.

Getting to Winston-Salem

Winston-Salem is in the lush, rolling mountains of north central North Carolina, within a day's drive of most of the eastern, southern and midwestern United States.

The airport serving the city is in Greensboro/High Point, NC (airport code GSO), about 23 miles east of downtown Winston-Salem. GSO offers over 50 daily regional jet flights to and from most eastern hub airports from all six major US airlines, offering easy connections to the world. Visit http://flyfrompti.com for complete airport information and links to airlines serving GSO.

Airport Shuttle Discount

The IJA has negotiated a greatly reduced airport shuttle for jugglers flying into GSO who arrive on Monday or Tuesday, July 13 or 14, or who depart on Sunday, July 19. The shuttle will run between GSO and downtown Winston-Salem every 75 minutes: 10am-8pm on Monday; 10am-4pm on Tuesday; and to the airport 7am-2pm on Sunday.

IJA fest attendees may purchase shuttle tickets for just $15 each way per person (gratuity not included), saving over 45%.

Plan your flights to arrive and depart within the hours noted above, reserve your shuttle seat on the festival registration form, and be sure to supply a valid email address with your registration. The IJA will email you a confirmation code for your ride and put you in touch with the shuttle company to arrange your shuttles. Discounted shuttle rides are only available with advance fest registration, so register today!
