Travel Tip: Package Deals For Major Festivals

Locations in this article:  Los Angeles, CA New York City, NY Santa Barbara, CA

Many major cities will host winter events in order to boost visitorship.

So take the opportunity to look for off-season deals associated with these timely experiences.

Winter in Los Angeles isn’t always 76 degrees and sunny, but there are plenty of events to attract visitors.

DineLA is one of the largest restaurant weeks in the country, with three-course meals starting from just $16 per person.

Check online for a list of hotel offering specially priced packages to go along with the event.

Though the month of April, L.A.’s Discover the Arts program gets you up to half off some of the largest cultural venues in the city, along with lodging deals.

During the Santa Barbara Film Festival, restaurants are rolling out “film and feast” packages with fixed-price menus, and local hotels are discounting for the event.

And, of course, there’s New York City’s winter Restaurant Week, from late January through early February. We’re talking meals from just $24 at some of the city’s most renowned restaurants.

And if you visit nycgo.com, you’ll see a deal that knocks $75 off hotel bookings at this time.

But your best bet is to call by phone—yes, pick up the phone!— and ask a human being about what deals they may have in conjunction with a local event.
