A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Rock Out at the Annual Festival at the Switchyard
Without a doubt, the crown jewel of Carrollton's event calendar is the annual Festival at the Switchyard. Held every November in the streets of Historic Downtown Carrollton (1106 S Broadway St, Carrollton, TX 75006), this free event celebrates the critical role the railroad played in the city's history. But for locals, it’s known for one thing: incredible live music. The festival consistently books major national headliners—past acts have included the likes of The Wallflowers, Smash Mouth, Soul Asylum, and Collective Soul—alongside a robust lineup of local bands, arts and crafts vendors, and food trucks.
Because the event is free and features high-profile entertainment, it draws tens of thousands of attendees. Naturally, parking becomes a significant challenge. The limited street parking in Downtown Carrollton fills up hours before the first chord is struck, and overflow lots often require long walks or shuttle transfers. By booking a minibus or charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Carrollton, you bypass these hurdles entirely. Your driver can drop your group off within walking distance of the main stage entrance and return to pick you up exactly when you are ready to leave. You’ll have a comfortable home base for your group to store souvenirs, festival gear, and lawn chairs, ensuring you enjoy the music without the burden of carrying heavy items all day.
Experience "Sounds on the Square" in Historic Downtown
If you are looking for a more laid-back musical experience, Carrollton’s Sounds on the Square series is a local favorite. Held on weekends during the spring and summer months, this event series transforms the charming gazebo in the heart of Historic Downtown Carrollton into a stage for talented local artists. Genres range from jazz and blues to country and acoustic rock, creating a perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening out with family, friends, or colleagues.
The beauty of Historic Downtown Carrollton lies in its walkability and dining options. Before the music starts, your group can enjoy a meal at local staples like Babe’s Chicken Dinner House or Cane Rosso. However, coordinating a large dinner reservation and ensuring everyone arrives at the same time can be difficult when driving separately. With a private shuttle bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Carrollton, you can ensure your entire party arrives in unison. We can pick you up from your office, hotel, or neighborhood and drop you right at the square. After a night of dining and dancing under the Texas stars, your driver will be waiting to ensure everyone gets home comfortably, making it the perfect option for social clubs, church groups, or family reunions.
Catch Big Names at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory
While Carrollton has its own charm, its strategic location provides easy access to some of the best venues in the Metroplex. Just a short drive south into Irving, The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory (300 W Las Colinas Blvd, Irving, TX 75039) hosts some of the biggest names in music and comedy. Because this venue is located in the bustling Las Colinas entertainment district, traffic during show nights can be gridlocked, and parking garages often charge premium rates.
Charter Bus Rental Company Carrollton offers the ideal solution for concert-goers heading to the Music Factory. Gather your fellow fans—whether it’s 20 people or 50—and rent a party bus or motorcoach for the evening. You can start the pre-game festivities on board with your own playlist connected to our sound system, enjoy drinks (if your group is of age and notifies us in advance), and get hyped for the show without stressing over the drive down President George Bush Turnpike. Your driver will handle the drop-off logistics, allowing you to walk straight to your seats or grab a pre-show drink at one of the many nearby bars without worrying about the time.
Easy Access to American Airlines Center & Dos Equis Pavilion
Carrollton’s proximity to Dallas means that residents are often heading south to catch global superstars at the American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75019) or outdoor summer jams at Dos Equis Pavilion (1818 1st Ave, Dallas, TX 75210). Whether it’s a Mavericks game, a Stars match, or a sold-out concert tour, these venues attract massive crowds, resulting in heavy congestion on I-35E and expensive parking fees that can exceed $40 or $50 per vehicle.
Why split your group into five or six different cars and risk getting separated in Dallas traffic? With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Carrollton, the journey becomes part of the fun. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches are perfect for large groups, offering ample legroom, reclining seats, and onboard restrooms—a massive perk when traffic comes to a standstill after a big event. We can coordinate complex itineraries, picking up groups from different neighborhoods in Carrollton before heading downtown. Whether you are an alumni association, a corporate team, or a massive group of friends, we ensure you arrive at the gate together, relaxed, and ready for the main event.
Local Brews and Beats at 3 Nations Brewing
For a more localized and spirited event experience, 3 Nations Brewing (1033 E Vandergriff Dr, Carrollton, TX 75006) is a must-visit destination. Located in a converted grain shed in Downtown Carrollton, this brewery often hosts trivia nights, live music events, and community gatherings. It is a fantastic spot for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate happy hours.
Charter Bus Rental Company Carrollton provides the ultimate designated driver service. Renting a minibus or sprinter van for your brewery outing allows everyone in your group to sample the local craft beers responsibly. We can create a custom "brewery crawl" itinerary for you, starting at 3 Nations in Carrollton and perhaps venturing out to other nearby taprooms in Addison or Farmers Branch. With a private bus rental, you aren't waiting on rideshares or worrying about surge pricing at the end of the night. You have a dedicated vehicle ready to take you to your next stop or safely back home.
Community Fun: Paws on the Square & Seasonal Gatherings
Carrollton is known for its community-centric events that happen year-round. Events like Paws on the Square, which invites residents to bring their furry friends for a day of fun, or the various 5K runs and holiday parades, bring the community closer together. For local organizations, schools, or homeowners associations (HOAs) looking to attend these events as a group, Charter Bus Rental Company Carrollton offers efficient shuttle services.
Imagine organizing a neighborhood trip to the Santa on the Square holiday event or the Carrollton Trails 5K. Instead of everyone driving separately and clogging up the local parking lots, a community shuttle bus can transport participants from a central meeting point in your neighborhood directly to the event. This not only eases traffic congestion in Historic Downtown but also fosters a sense of community as neighbors travel together. Our buses have plenty of undercarriage storage, perfect for stowing strollers, running gear, or folding chairs for outdoor movie nights.
