Now virtual! October 28-30, 2021

DIRECTIONS

The below directions are for our usual in-person events in New Castle, which were canceled in 2021, and Oak Knoll Fest XXI was held virtually instead. We hope to host events in-person again in the future, so please check back later for updates on future Oak Knoll Fests!

**Parking Note** Parking is available on the streets surrounding Oak Knoll and the Senior Center, but please give yourself extra time to find a spot, as parking may be hard to find. The parking lot at the New Castle Senior Center (400 South St.) will be reserved for Fest visitors only.

From Route I-95 (North or South)
Take exit 5A, Route 141 South, toward New Castle, continue past Route 13, and turn left onto Route 9. Go 1/2 mile to next light and turn right onto Delaware Street and go three blocks. Oak Knoll is located between Third and Fourth Streets at 310 Delaware Street, in the Old Opera House. We now occupy both the second and third floors. Enter the doors in the middle of the building or through the lobby on the right to get directly to the elevator.

From New Jersey/North
From I-295 & NJ Turnpike - Take the Delaware Memorial Bridge into Delaware. At the first set of exits on the right after the toll (you'll want to enter the tolls on the right side of the road as the exit is very soon thereafter), take Route 9 South towards New Castle. Follow Route 9 for about 3 miles. After passing the second "Welcome to New Castle" sign, turn left at the next light on to Delaware Street. We are 310 Delaware Street, the Old Opera House. We now occupy both the second and third floors. Enter the doors in the middle of the building or through the lobby on the right to get directly to the elevator.

Shuttle Services from Philadelphia Airport
In addition to Uber, Lyft, or other car sharing services, you can arrange shuttle service pick-up from Philadelphia Airport to points in Delaware. This is done by calling Delaware Express Shuttle at (302) 454-7800 or toll-free at (800) 648-5466 at least 24 hours in advance of pick up and make a reservation with them. Shared shuttle rides cost around $45 each way.

By Train
The train station is located in Wilmington (about 20 minutes away from New Castle) and is served regularly by Amtrak. In addition to Uber, Lyft, or other car sharing services, taxi service is available outside the station and is recommended over local bus service. We recommend Family Taxi (302-543-7709) or Victory Taxi (302-383-8826).
