A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Summer Nights at Roosevelt Park
For many locals, summer in Longmont isn't complete without spending an evening on the grass at Roosevelt Park (700 Longs Peak Ave, Longmont, CO 80501). As the city's premier outdoor gathering space, this park hosts a variety of major events, including the beloved Longmont Symphony Orchestra's July 4th concert and the Rhythm on the River festival (now evolved into various summer concert series). The park's central location makes it accessible, but its popularity means that parking—specifically the lots off Longs Peak Avenue and 8th Avenue—fills up hours before the first note is played.
When you rent a charter bus or minibus for a Roosevelt Park event, you bypass the parking wars entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the Senior Center or the St. Vrain Memorial Building, allowing you to stake out your picnic spot immediately. Afterward, while thousands of cars are gridlocked trying to exit onto Main Street, your group can relax in reclining seats and air conditioning, waiting for the traffic to thin out or heading straight to a post-concert dinner. We recommend this option highly for senior groups, large families, and community organizations looking to enjoy the music without the physical strain of hauling coolers and chairs across blocks of overflow parking.
Historic Vibes at the Dickens Opera House
If you are looking for a venue with character, the Dickens Opera House (300 Main St, Longmont, CO 80501) is the crown jewel of Downtown Longmont. Built in 1881, this venue has hosted everything from genuine opera to modern rock bands, comedy shows, and private weddings. It sits right at the intersection of 3rd and Main, placing it in the heart of the city's dining and nightlife district. While this location is fantastic for walkability, it is challenging for group parking. Street parking on Main is time-limited and scarce, and the public lots behind the building can be confusing for out-of-towners.
For wedding parties, corporate holiday parties, or concert-going groups heading to the Dickens, a shuttle service is essential. These drivers can navigate the tight turns of downtown and provide curbside service on 3rd Avenue. If you are hosting a private event at the Opera House, a shuttle service running between the venue and local hotels like the Hilton Garden Inn or the Courtyard by Marriott ensures your guests get home safely after a night of celebration. We can even organize a "loop" shuttle for large events, keeping a steady flow of guests moving without clogging up the downtown corridor.
The Boulder County Fair & Rodeo
Every August, the Boulder County Fairgrounds (9595 Nelson Rd, Longmont, CO 80501) transforms into the epicenter of agricultural celebration and entertainment. The Boulder County Fair is the oldest fair in Colorado, and it brings with it rodeos, demolition derbies, livestock auctions, and live concerts. The Fairgrounds are sprawling, and while there is plenty of parking, it often involves parking in dirt lots far from the main entrance, which can be difficult for families with small children or attendees with mobility issues.
Charter Bus Rental Company Longmont works frequently with 4-H clubs, school groups, and large families attending the fair. A private charter bus offers ample undercarriage storage for everything you might need—strollers, coolers, or even supplies for livestock exhibitors. We can arrange a drop-off right at the Hover Street entrance or the Nelson Road gate, saving your group a dusty, hot walk. Plus, after a long day in the sun eating funnel cake and watching the rodeo, there is nothing better than stepping onto a climate-controlled bus with plush seating for the ride home.
Brewery Jams: Wibby, Left Hand, and Oskar Blues
Longmont is famous for its beer, but it’s also known for the culture that surrounds it. Breweries here aren't just production facilities; they are major event venues. Wibby Brewing (209 Emery St, Longmont, CO 80501), for example, hosts "Lagerchella" and other massive outdoor concerts in their pavilion. Left Hand Brewing (1265 Boston Ave, Longmont, CO 80501) frequently hosts Leftapalooza and other charity concerts. Oskar Blues (1800 Pike Rd, Longmont, CO 80501) offers the Tasty Weasel Taproom, a staple for live jams.
The challenge with brewery events is comfort. If your group plans to enjoy Longmont’s famous stouts and lagers, a designated driver is non-negotiable. By booking a party bus or minibus for a brewery tour or concert, you ensure that everyone in your group gets home safely. We can create a custom itinerary that hops between these venues, or provide a dedicated shuttle for a specific festival at one location. Our buses allow you to keep the party going between stops with onboard sound systems and space to socialize, turning a simple night out into an unforgettable event.
ArtWalk and Downtown Festivals
During the summer and early autumn months, Downtown Longmont shuts down for ArtWalk and various street festivals. These events turn Main Street into a pedestrian paradise filled with artists, musicians, and food vendors. While these events are incredible for community building, they wreak havoc on traffic patterns. Road closures (usually Main Street from 3rd to 6th Ave) force traffic onto Coffman and Kimbark Streets, creating bottlenecks.
If you are bringing a group to ArtWalk, a charter bus is the smartest way to navigate the closures. We stay up-to-date on all city road closures and detour routes. We can drop your group off at a designated loading zone a block away from the festivities, allowing you to dive straight into the art and music without circling the block for forty minutes looking for a spot. This is particularly useful for senior living communities or school art clubs coming to experience the culture of the Longmont Creative District.
Your Gateway to Red Rocks and Denver Venues
While Longmont has plenty to offer locally, we know that many of our residents look south for big-name entertainment. Longmont serves as a perfect launching point for trips to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison or Ball Arena and Empower Field in Denver. The drive from Longmont to Red Rocks involves taking the Diagonal Highway (Hwy 119) to the Boulder Turnpike (US-36) and then navigating C-470. It’s a drive that can take over an hour, and post-concert traffic is notorious.
Charter Bus Rental Company Longmont specializes in round-trip concert transportation. Why split your group of 20 friends into five different Ubers or cars? Renting a bus to Red Rocks from Longmont is often more cost-effective and infinitely more fun. You can tailgate in the bus parking lot (which is closer to the venue entrance than general parking), enjoy drinks on the ride down, and nap on the ride home. We handle the mountain roads and the late-night traffic so you don't have to. We also service trips to Fiddler's Green and the Mission Ballroom, ensuring Longmont residents have a direct line to the state's best acoustics.
Longmont Lights & Holiday Events
When December rolls around, Roosevelt Park lights up for "Longmont Lights," a weekend festival featuring a parade of lights, fireworks, and carriage rides. It is a magical time, but the cold weather and icy roads can make transport tricky, especially for large groups of children or seniors. Our heated charter buses are the perfect solution for holiday light tours. We can take your group through the scheduled parade route (traffic permitting) or shuttle you to the park for the cocoa and fireworks. We also offer private holiday light tours through residential neighborhoods renowned for their displays, allowing your group to enjoy the festive atmosphere from the warmth and elevated view of a motorcoach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Longmont Concert Transportation
How far in advance should we book a bus for Red Rocks or the County Fair?
For major events like popular Red Rocks concerts or the peak weekends of the Boulder County Fair, we recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Summer is the busy season for charter bus rentals in Colorado, and availability tightens quickly. If you have a specific date in mind, especially for a Friday or Saturday night, securing your reservation early ensures you get the vehicle size and amenities you want. However, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests whenever our fleet schedule allows.
Can the bus pick us up at multiple locations in Longmont?
Absolutely. We offer fully customizable itineraries. If you need to pick up part of your group at a hotel in Southwest Longmont (like the Residence Inn) and another part of the group in a residential neighborhood near McIntosh Lake, we can do that. Just be aware that multiple pickup stops adds time to your trip, so we will need to factor that into the schedule to ensure you arrive at your concert or event on time. When you call for a quote, provide all the addresses you have in mind so we can build the most efficient route for you.
Where does the bus park during the concert or event?
This depends on the venue. For local Longmont venues like Roosevelt Park or the Fairgrounds, there are usually designated areas for oversized vehicles or nearby street parking where the driver can wait. For venues like Red Rocks or Ball Arena, there are specific staging lots for charter buses. In many cases, the driver will drop you off at the entrance and then park in the staging area. You will have the driver's contact information to coordinate pickup once the event concludes. Your quote includes the driver's wait time, so you don't have to worry about the meter running while you enjoy the show.
What sizes of buses do you offer for Longmont events?
We have a diverse fleet to suit any group size. For smaller groups heading to a brewery or dinner, our Sprinter vans (12-15 passengers) or minibuses (18-25 passengers) are perfect and navigate downtown streets easily. For medium-sized groups, such as wedding parties or corporate teams, we have mid-sized buses (up to 35 passengers). For large groups, such as school bands or large company outings, our full-size charter buses seat up to 56 passengers and include undercarriage storage for equipment. We can also build a custom fleet of multiple buses if you need to move hundreds of people at once.
