How do I get to National Gospel Singing Convention?
By car
Most people drive to National Gospel Singing Convention. The nearest major airport is MEI, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
Meridian's Union Station (1901 Front St), ~27-29 miles east of Newton, is served daily by Amtrak's Crescent (New York-Washington DC-Atlanta-New Orleans). Useful for attendees traveling along the Crescent corridor, but there is no onward transit connection from Meridian to Newton itself, a rental car or arranged ride is still needed for that last leg.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
Meridian Regional Airport (MEI) is a small regional field ~27-29 miles east of Newton. U-Save is the only rental counter physically in the terminal. This host town changes annually (the convention rotates among small Southern towns), so this leg applies specifically to the most recently confirmed location, Newton, MS.

Falling back to the Mississippi state-level directory. Not a strong fit for this event anyway, it's an indoor/church gathering, not a camping-oriented festival.
