This location and facility provide a great place for extended families to meet and celebrate the festival together. A range of activities is being planned that will provide something for everyone—young and old!

The Taft Art Museum has an excellent collection and is free. The Creation Museum is a 40-minute drive southwest in Petersburg, Kentucky. Approximately one hour’s drive south is the life-size Ark Encounter, while to the north is the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, which is home to the largest and most extensive collection of U.S. Air Force history in the country.

A number of restaurants and a mall are within walking distance. The spacious Holiday Inn Eastgate hotel lobby provides a comfortable place where brethren gather to fellowship anytime throughout the Feast. You are encouraged to stay there if your budget allows because the Holiday Inn offers the meeting space for an exceptional bargain to the Church. No other discounted housing is being offered, so if you need other options, you may do your own search and reserve accommodations that suit you.
