2026 TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATIONS

Enjoy your stay during the Blue Water Film Festival with one of our Hotel Partners, where you will find special discount rates extended to Festival guests.

Booking Accommodations
Our hotel reservation link is open for business, and Blue Water Film Festival attendees can book king or double rooms at the Empress Lodge  (La Jolla), La Valencia Hotel, La Jolla Shores or any of our preferred Hotel partners.  From March 19 to 22 for US$159 a night (plus tax). You really can’t beat the convenience of staying in the event hotel, especially in La Jolla! We’ve secured as many rooms as possible, but the hotel block is limited, so we highly recommend that you book early. Use this link, or code code BWFF26 or call the hotel directly at +1-858-999-0857. and reference Blue Water Film Festival to get the preferred rate.
