A Travel Guide to Virginia Beach, Virginia's Best Concerts & Events

There is no better place to experience live music, cultural festivals, and high-energy sporting events than the coastal city of Virginia Beach. From the sun-soaked stages along the Boardwalk to the massive lawn at the amphitheater, this city knows how to put on a show. But anyone who has tried to navigate I-264 on a Friday afternoon or find parking near the Oceanfront during the Neptune Festival knows that the logistics can quickly dampen the mood. That is where Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach comes in. We provide the ultimate transportation solution for groups of all sizes, ensuring that your journey to the event is just as enjoyable as the main act.

Whether you are rallying a group of friends for a country concert, organizing a corporate outing to a festival, or transporting a sports team to a tournament at the Convention Center, we have the fleet to handle it. Forget about splitting into multiple rideshares, drawing straws for a designated driver, or paying exorbitant fees for parking garages miles away from the venue. With a private charter bus rental, your group travels together, arrives on time, and enjoys premium amenities every mile of the way. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7 at 757-972-5050 to build a custom itinerary for your next big night out in Virginia Beach.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Concerts Under the Stars at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater

When the biggest names in music come to Hampton Roads, they head straight to the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater (3550 Cellar Door Way, Virginia Beach, VA 23456). This massive outdoor venue can hold upwards of 20,000 fans and hosts everyone from Dave Matthews Band and country megastars to rock legends and hip-hop icons. However, the traffic leading into the venue via Dam Neck Road can be notoriously gridlocked, and the walk from the general parking lots to the gates is long, especially in the humid Virginia summer heat.

Skip the hassle and turn the travel time into a tailgate party with a private party bus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach. We can pick your group up from a central location—whether that’s a restaurant in Town Center or a hotel at the Oceanfront—and drive you straight to the VIP or bus drop-off areas. You won’t have to worry about finding your car in a sea of thousands after the encore. Instead, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away in air-conditioned comfort while you rehash the setlist with your friends. Our buses offer plenty of undercarriage storage for tailgating essentials like coolers, chairs, and cornhole boards, so you can enjoy the pre-show atmosphere without the stress of driving.

Sophisticated Shows at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts

Located in the heart of Virginia Beach’s Town Center, the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts (201 Market St, Virginia Beach, VA 23462) is the crown jewel of the city’s cultural scene. This stunning 1,300-seat theater offers perfect acoustics for symphonies, ballets, comedy shows, and intimate concerts. While Town Center offers plenty of parking garages, navigating them during a sold-out show or a busy Saturday night can be confusing and time-consuming, often leading to rushing to your seats right as the curtain rises.

Arrive in style and stress-free with a minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach. We can coordinate a drop-off right at the plaza entrance, allowing your group to step off the bus and walk straight into the lobby without navigating tight garage turns or worrying about validation. Planning a dinner-and-a-show evening? We can shuttle your group to nearby upscale dining spots like Ruth's Chris or Cantina Laredo before the performance. With plush reclining seats and climate control, your ride home will be as relaxing as the performance itself.

Rocking the Oceanfront: Neptune Festival & Beach Concerts

The Virginia Beach Oceanfront isn't just for sunbathing; it is a hub for some of the East Coast's most vibrant festivals. The annual Neptune Festival, usually held in late September, draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the boardwalk for the sand sculpting championship, art shows, and live music at the 24th Street and 31st Street parks. Similarly, the summer concert series brings bands to the beach stages almost every night. While the atmosphere is electric, parking along Atlantic and Pacific Avenues is scarce, expensive, and often requires a long walk in the sun.

When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach, you bypass the parking wars entirely. We can drop your group off at a designated point near your hotel or the festival entrance, allowing you to dive straight into the funnel cakes and festivities. If you are attending with a large corporate group or a family reunion, a charter bus serves as a perfect meeting point and mobile headquarters. Keep your group organized and ensure that no one gets lost in the boardwalk crowds. After a long day of walking the festival, nothing beats sinking into a soft seat in a cool bus for the ride back home.

Catch the Action at the East Coast Surfing Championships (ECSC)

As the second-longest continuously running surfing contest in the world, the East Coast Surfing Championships (ECSC) is a Virginia Beach staple. Held at the oceanfront near the 1st Street Jetty, this event combines professional surfing, volleyball, a 5K run, and live music into one massive beach party. The crowds are immense, and traffic on the south end of the beach can come to a standstill. For surf teams, fan groups, or sponsors attending the event, relying on individual cars is a logistical nightmare.

Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach offers the perfect solution for ECSC attendees. We can transport your team and all their gear—surfboards, coolers, tents, and beach chairs—with ease thanks to the spacious luggage bays on our full-size charter buses. Your driver handles the Rudee Inlet traffic while you hydrate and prep for the day. Whether you are competing or just there to soak up the vibes and watch the BMX demos, having a dedicated shuttle ensures your group stays together and avoids the frustration of hunting for street parking blocks away from the sand.

Intimate Gigs at Elevation 27

For music lovers looking for a club vibe with excellent sound, Elevation 27 (600 Nevan Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) in the Hilltop area is the place to be. This venue hosts everything from tribute bands and up-and-coming indie acts to legendary rock performers. It’s a favorite spot for birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette outings, and friend groups looking for a great night out. Since alcohol is often part of the concert experience, safety is paramount.

Booking a party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach means you have a built-in designated driver for the entire night. Start your evening with dinner at one of Hilltop’s many restaurants, head to Elevation 27 for the show, and then perhaps hit a few bars at the Oceanfront afterward. The drivers work on your schedule, not the other way around. You can enjoy the show knowing that a safe, reliable ride is waiting for you right outside the doors when the encore ends.

Events and Expos at the Virginia Beach Convention Center

The Virginia Beach Convention Center (1000 19th St, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) is a massive hub for trade shows, cheerleading competitions, car shows, and large-scale conventions. If you are an event planner or a group attending a multi-day conference, transportation logistics are key to a successful experience. Moving dozens or hundreds of attendees from oceanfront hotels to the Convention Center requires precision and reliability.

Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach specializes in corporate and convention shuttle services. We can set up a continuous loop to transport attendees from their hotels to the convention center doors, ensuring everyone arrives on time for keynote speeches or competition start times. Our buses can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing professionals to catch up on emails or athletes to charge their devices between events. Don't leave your attendees to fend for themselves with limited rideshares; provide a professional shuttle service that reflects well on your organization.

Holiday Lights at the Beach

When the holidays roll around, the Virginia Beach Boardwalk transforms into a nautical winter wonderland with "Holiday Lights at the Beach." Families and groups flock to see the festive displays, typically driving their own cars along the boardwalk. However, for large groups—such as senior communities, church groups, or extended families—trying to coordinate a convoy of cars can separate the group and dilute the experience.

Rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach for a magical holiday tour. Our buses have large panoramic windows that are perfect for viewing the lights from a higher vantage point than a standard car. We can play your favorite holiday music over the PA system to set the mood while your group enjoys the displays together in one warm, cozy vehicle. Afterward, your driver can take you to a local restaurant for hot cocoa and dessert, capping off a perfect festive evening without anyone having to focus on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions About Virginia Beach Concert Transportation

How far in advance should we book our bus for a concert?

Virginia Beach is a major tourist destination, especially during the summer concert season (May through September). For popular events at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater or major festivals like the Neptune Festival, we strongly recommend booking your bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This ensures that you get the specific type of vehicle you need—whether that is a 20-passenger party bus or a 56-passenger coach—at the best possible price. If you are planning a last-minute trip, don't panic! Give us a call, and we will do our best to accommodate your group based on our current availability.

Where does the bus park at venues like the Amphitheater?

Most major venues in Virginia Beach, including the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater and the Convention Center, have designated areas for charter buses and oversized vehicles. At the amphitheater, there is typically a specific lot for buses that allows for easier entry and exit compared to general parking. When you book with us, your driver will handle all the parking logistics. You simply hop off near the entrance, and your driver will park the bus and wait for you, or return to pick you up at a pre-arranged time. You will never have to worry about walking miles from the back of a parking lot again.

Can the bus shuttle us between multiple locations?

Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of renting a private charter bus is the flexibility. You set the itinerary. If you want to start with dinner at a restaurant on Shore Drive, head to a concert at the Oceanfront, and then stop for late-night drinks at Town Center before heading home, we can make that happen. When you call to book, simply provide your reservation specialist with your desired schedule. We offer hourly rental packages that keep the bus and driver at your disposal for the entire duration of your event, ensuring you have a ride whenever you are ready to move to the next spot.

Do you service areas outside of Virginia Beach?

Yes, we do! Charter Bus Rental Company Virginia Beach services the entire Hampton Roads region and beyond. We regularly transport groups to and from Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News, and Williamsburg. If you are planning a trip to Busch Gardens, a history tour in Colonial Williamsburg, or need an airport transfer from Norfolk International Airport (ORF) to a Virginia Beach hotel, we have you covered. We can also arrange long-distance charters to Washington D.C., Richmond, or the Outer Banks. Wherever your group needs to go, we have the fleet to get you there.
