Getting There
Make your own way to Wolfville directly or travel to Halifax and we’ll take care of the rest!
Recommended Route
We recommend flying into Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ). We will be offering round-trip transportation (via coach bus) from both the Halifax airport and downtown Halifax to Wolfville on Friday, October 2nd and back (on Sunday, October 5th) at two designated departures times per day. Specifics about the transportation schedule will be added to this site in the coming months.
If you arrive in Halifax earlier than the scheduled airport pickups and plan to use the provided transportation from downtown Halifax instead, downtown is an easy and relatively inexpensive 25-minute trip from the airport via Uber, Lyft, or taxi.
