\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you know, ProgStock\u2019s daily\u00a0performances will take place\u00a0October 13-15, 2017 at the\u00a0Union County Performing Arts Center<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(or UCPAC) theater located at 1601 Irving Street, Rahway, New Jersey 07065. \u00a0After each performance, meet & greet sessions with the performers will take place at\u00a0Patria Latin Bistro and Lounge<\/a><\/strong>, which is located directly behind<\/em> the UCPAC theater building. \u00a0This wonderful restaurant will host our \u201cvendor fair\u201d, where you can browse merchandise from our sponsors and partners all weekend long\u2026and it will also host our Late Night Events within its spacious party lounge!<\/p>\n

NOTE: We have changed which hotel will be\u00a0our \u201chost\u201d hotel!<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve found an excellent choice that is in a perfect location very close to the UCPAC theater: the\u00a0Home2 Suites by Hilton<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0located at 667 East Milton Avenue, Rahway, New Jersey 07065. \u00a0This hotel is where the artists, staff, and special guests of ProgStock will stay throughout the weekend. It is an extremely short and easy drive from the theater, and provides\u00a0free standard wi-fi, free parking, and free breakfast<\/strong>\u00a0for everyone. We\u2019ve negotiated a special nightly rate for ProgStock attendees, so come stay at this amazing hotel with us! This rate is\u00a0$129<\/strong>\/night and will apply to all three nights of the festival, from check-in on Friday, October 13 through check-out on Monday, October 16\u2026and they will even honor that rate if you wish to come in one day earlier! You can call the\u00a0Home2 Suites by Hilton<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0directly and ask for the ProgStock nightly rate (this is the recommended option), or you can book online at their website\u2026but, if you do book online, you will need to give the hotel a call so they can update your nightly rate to our special ProgStock rate.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can choose from any of the numerous great hotels in and around Rahway\u2026whatever suits you best! But, another good choice is right next-door to the Home2 Suites by Hilton, the\u00a0Best Western Riverview Inn & Suites<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0located at 1747 Paterson Street, Rahway, New Jersey 07065. \u00a0This hotel\u00a0is also an extremely short and easy drive from the UCPAC theater, and also provides\u00a0free standard wi-fi, free parking, and free breakfast<\/strong>\u00a0for everyone. We have worked out an incredible nightly ProgStock rate of\u00a0$99.99<\/b>\/night\u00a0for this hotel, which will apply to all three nights of the festival, from check-in on Friday, October 13 through check-out on Monday, October 16\u2026and they will also honor that rate if you come in one day earlier! Call the\u00a0Best Western Riverview Inn & Suites<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0directly and ask for the ProgStock nightly rate (recommended), or book online at their website\u2026but, if you do book online, you will need to give the hotel a call so they can update your nightly rate to our special ProgStock rate.<\/p>\n

Getting To\/From the Venue\/Hotels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For those folks who will not have their own vehicle with them at the festival\u2026there are many options<\/em> for getting between the venue and hotels. First<\/strong>, as always, you can carpool<\/strong> with friends (you will see plenty of old ones, and make plenty of new ones, at this festival!) and get where you need to be. Hands down, that\u2019s most likely going to cover all the needs you have in this department. There\u2019s always taxicabs<\/strong>, which will be quite aware of the festival and easy to grab (and our staff will help you, if needed). But also keep in mind that Uber and Lyft<\/strong> are available, too\u2026it\u2019s a commuter town, after all! Cost estimates between the UCPAC and the Home2 Suites\u00a0are around\u00a0$6 (car) and $10 (SUV). Similar costs will get you to\/from the Best Western, too. Share any of those rides with friends, and you\u2019ll do just fine!<\/p>\n

We’re working hard to make this happen!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ProgStock Festival team is committed to making sure that this year’s festival happens! \u00a0In addition to our PledgeMusic campaign, we are currently pursuing other funding via sponsorships and donations. \u00a0If you would like to make a personal donation<\/strong> to support the ProgStock Festival, we can offer you a 501(c)(3) receipt<\/strong> for tax purposes…so please contact us if you are interested in helping us!<\/p>\n

Just 13 days left to Pledge your support!<\/strong> \u00a0Once we reach our funding goal, people who have pledged by July 31st will get special gifts…..<\/strong>so if you haven’t done so, make sure you get your “Boarding Passes” (tickets) over at:<\/p>\n

Thanks, and we’re looking forward to seeing you in October in New Jersey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
