Getting there

Nearest airport MEI.

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
Amtrak Crescent line. Meridian Union Station / Multi-Modal Transportation CenterVaries by origin to Meridian; add ~30-35 min driving for the Meridian-to-Newton last mile · Fares vary widely by origin/booking window, confirm on Amtrak's own fare finder

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 / info
By 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
U-Save Car Rental (sole on-site counter at MEI) plus general local taxi~30-35 min, ~27-29 miles via I-20 W to Newton

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.

Book / info

Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
