FlightSimExpo in Providence
Join us in one of 'America’s Best Towns to Visit'
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. Mystic, Connecticut, with its maritime history, is also just a short trip away. These nearby locations offer attendees the opportunity to explore more of the region while making the most of their time outside of the event.

As you check out the local area, be on the lookout for members of the Providence Downtown Improvement District (DID). Their mission is simple: safety and cleanliness. They work to keep the streets clean and safe, and are friendly faces across the city that are always there to assist someone who might be lost or maybe doesn’t feel comfortable walking back to their hotel at night. You can't miss them as they are always wearing bright yellow clothing!
