With a thriving arts community, vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, outstanding hotels, and a renowned restaurant scene, Providence offers a uniquely northeastern backdrop for FlightSimExpo 2025. Whether you're visiting just for the event, or if you plan to spend a few days exploring Boston, the beaches, and Cape Cod, we can't wait to welcome you!

For attendees looking to extend their trip, Providence is conveniently located near several popular destinations in New England. A short drive will take them to Newport, known for its historic mansions and waterfront views, or to the beaches of Rhode Island for a relaxing day by the ocean.
