“It amazes me how many fans attend SunFest who aren’t from West Palm Beach – last year, nearly 40% of SunFest guests traveled from outside Palm Beach County, with patrons from 49 states and 21 countries around the world,” said Paul Jamieson, SunFest Executive Director. “We want to make it easy for everyone to travel to SunFest – whether it’s from Miami or New York or simply a local resident who wants a great staycation experience – and we want them to have a good time at the festival by offering ideal places to stay and reliable transportation going to and from the waterfront.”
HotelPlanners is giving patrons an easy way to search for accommodations. Through the click of a button, visitors can search for the hotel that best suits their needs sorted by proximity to SunFest.
“SunFest fans should get every chance to discover the Palm Beaches,” said Jamieson. “Our festival goers are our highest priority. That’s why we are grateful for partners like Brightline who ensure accessibility where locals and visitors can enjoy SunFest in a safe and fun way.”
