From the town of Washington, take U.S. 264 east. Approximately ten miles east of Washington you will see a detour directing you to continue east on U.S. 264 due to the closure of the Bath Creek Bridge on N.C. 92. The detour is clearly marked, and Bath Fest has additional signage directing you to turn right on Boyd Road. Boyd Road will continue to Jackson Swamp Road. A right turn will take you to the town of Bath. If using a GPS navigator, enter 103 S. King St., Bath, NC 27808 as your destination. Once in Bath, continue straight and look for signs directing you to the church parking lots. Bath Fest is on the 200 block of South Main Street and Front St. at Bonner’s Point.
If traveling from the Outer Banks, take U.S. 64/264 west. In Manns Harbor continue west on U.S. 264 until Belhaven, then follow N.C. 99 south to N.C. 92 west.
