Getting here
Travel to Midwest Pixel Fest
Saturday, October 16 – Sunday, October 17, 2027 in Emporia, Kansas. Hotel blocks, parking maps, and the venue address will publish when they are confirmed.
Why Emporia
Emporia sits along I-35 and serves as a convenient meeting point for regional attendees. The pitch is geographic, not a claim about a specific building — that address is still to be announced.
Getting to Emporia
Most people will arrive by car. We are not listing unverified mileage or drive times. Use the notes below as a planning sketch, then come back when the venue pin is public.
Wichita
A common I-35 approach from the southwest. Watch this page for parking and hotel notes after the venue is public.
Topeka
A shorter regional trip along the same corridor. Exact routing depends on the confirmed venue.
Lawrence
A regional drive for campus and collector crowds. We will not publish unofficial mile counts here.
Manhattan
Another regional community we expect on the road. Hotel blocks, if any, will be listed once they exist.
Surrounding Midwest
Emporia is being positioned as a meeting point, not only a hometown show. Airport and overnight details will follow the venue announcement.
Hotels
Official hotel partners and room blocks will be published once the venue is confirmed. Until then, we are not naming properties or rates.
Parking
Venue-specific parking, lots, and any shuttle notes will be posted after the venue is confirmed. Do not assume downtown vs. campus vs. highway lots until that map exists.
Food & things to do
Local restaurant and sightseeing guides will be added as we work with Emporia partners. This page will link out to deeper travel notes when those guides are worth publishing — not as a scraped list of every storefront in town.
