A Travel Guide to Broomfield, Colorado's Best Concerts & Events

Nestled conveniently along the US-36 corridor, halfway between the urban energy of Denver and the eclectic spirit of Boulder, Broomfield, Colorado, has evolved from a quiet residential enclave into a vibrant hub for entertainment, culture, and commerce. For locals and visitors alike, Broomfield offers a surprising density of high-quality event venues, sprawling outdoor spaces for festivals, and a thriving local music scene found in its taprooms and public plazas.

However, attending these events—especially with a large group—often comes with the logistical headaches of navigating the Denver Metro area's growing traffic, finding parking in crowded lots, and coordinating designated drivers. At Charter Bus Rental Company Broomfield, we believe that the journey to the event should be just as enjoyable as the main act. Whether you are rallying a corporate team for a conference at the Omni, gathering the extended family for the 4th of July Great American Picnic, or heading to a concert with a group of friends, our fleet of private charters and minibuses ensures you arrive together and in style.

This guide explores the very best of Broomfield’s event landscape and how a charter bus rental can elevate your experience from ordinary to extraordinary.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

The Pulse of Arista: Entertainment and Dining Hub

When discussing entertainment in Broomfield, all roads eventually lead to the Arista development. Located just off the Turnpike, this master-planned district is the heartbeat of the city's nightlife and event scene. While it is historically anchored by the 1stBank Center—known for hosting everything from minor league sports to world-class touring bands and rodeos—the surrounding area itself is a destination worth visiting.

The Arista district creates a walkable, urban feel with a variety of upscale dining options, coffee shops, and taprooms. For groups planning an evening out, this is the perfect drop-off point. Instead of navigating the tight parking garages or circling for street parking on Arista Place, a Charter Bus Rental Company Broomfield motorcoach can drop your group curbside. You can enjoy a pre-show dinner at Hickory & Ash or grab a craft beer at Proto’s Pizzeria Napoletana before walking to your event. Afterward, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away, eliminating the post-event gridlock that often plagues personal vehicles trying to exit onto Wadsworth Parkway.

Summer Concert Series at Broomfield County Commons

There is nothing quite like a Colorado summer evening, and Broomfield capitalizes on this with its robust offering of outdoor community events. The Broomfield County Commons Park (often referred to simply as "The Commons") is a massive open space that plays host to the city's most beloved tradition: the Summer Concert Series. These events are quintessential Americana, featuring local bands, food trucks, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

However, The Commons is vast, and parking can be a significant hike from the actual stage area, especially when carrying lawn chairs, coolers, and picnic blankets. This is where a private bus rental becomes a game-changer. Our shuttle buses offer ample undercarriage storage, allowing you to pack everything your group needs for a comfortable picnic—including umbrellas and heavy coolers—without cramping your legroom. Your driver can drop your group near the Paul Derda Recreation Center entrance, minimizing the walk and maximizing your time enjoying the music and mountain views.

The Great American Picnic and 4th of July Fireworks

If there is one date to circle on your calendar in Broomfield, it is July 4th. The Great American Picnic is not just a fireworks display; it is a full-day festival held at Broomfield County Commons Park. With bike parades, beer gardens, multiple stages for live music, and thousands of attendees, it is the city’s premier community gathering. Consequently, it is also the city's most traffic-congested day.

Attempting to coordinate a convoy of four or five family cars into the park during this event is a recipe for frustration. By booking a minibus or a full-sized coach with Charter Bus Rental Company Broomfield, your group avoids the stress of finding multiple parking spots or getting separated in the crowd. We can arrange a specific pickup time after the grand finale fireworks display, ensuring your family, church group, or community organization exits the venue safely and efficiently while others are still stuck in the parking lot queues.

Broomfield Days: A Community Tradition

Every September, the city comes alive for Broomfield Days, a massive celebration of community spirit centered around Midway Park. The event kicks off with a parade that draws spectators from all over the Front Range, followed by a craft fair, food booths, and live entertainment. It is a fantastic event for school bands, scout troops, and senior living communities to attend.

For group organizers, the logistics of Broomfield Days can be tricky due to road closures along Midway Boulevard for the parade route. The drivers are locals who know the area intimately. We know the best drop-off points that avoid the road closures while still getting you close to the action. Whether you are transporting a marching band with all their instruments or a senior group requiring ADA-accessible transport to watch the parade, our fleet is equipped to handle the unique demands of this busy Saturday festival.

Intimate Gigs: Breweries and Taprooms

Broomfield has carved out a respectable niche in Colorado’s craft beer scene, and many of these local watering holes double as fantastic live music venues. Places like Wonderland Brewing on W 120th Ave offer massive outdoor patios, ping pong, and regular lineups of local bands. Similarly, Rails End Beer Company provides a cozy atmosphere for acoustic sets and trivia nights.

Organizing a "brewery hop" for a bachelor party, birthday, or corporate team-building event is a popular way to experience Broomfield. However, safety is paramount. When you rent a sprinter van or a minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Broomfield, you are securing a built-in designated driver. Your group can sample the best IPAs and Stouts the city has to offer without worrying about ride-share surcharges or the safety of driving between venues. We can build a custom itinerary that takes you from Wonderland to 4 Noses Brewing (just next door in Broomfield/Westminster) and back, ensuring a seamless and responsible night out.

Cultural Sophistication at the Broomfield Auditorium

For those seeking a more refined evening, the Broomfield Auditorium is a hidden gem. Located adjacent to the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library, this acoustically superb venue hosts the Broomfield Symphony Orchestra, the Broomfield Civic Orchestra, and various dance and theatrical productions throughout the year. It is a prime destination for school field trips, art appreciation clubs, and senior center outings.

Charter Bus Rental Company Broomfield specializes in providing comfortable, climate-controlled transportation for these cultural outings. Our buses feature reclining seats and large windows, perfect for a relaxing drive to the auditorium. For school groups, our onboard DVD players and PA systems allow teachers to brief students on theater etiquette or the history of the performance they are about to see while en route. We ensure prompt arrival so your group can be seated well before the curtain rises.

Corporate Events at the Omni Interlocken

Broomfield is a major corporate hub, home to the headquarters of global companies and the sprawling Omni Interlocken Hotel. This resort is a hotspot for conferences, golf tournaments, and corporate retreats. While the Omni has plenty of amenities on-site, corporate groups often need to move off-property for dinners at FlatIron Crossing or team-building events in Boulder or Denver.

Our corporate shuttle services are designed to impress. We offer sleek, modern buses equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing professionals to stay connected on the go. Whether you need a continuous shuttle loop between the Interlocken business park and the hotel, or a fleet of buses to transport hundreds of attendees to a gala, Charter Bus Rental Company Broomfield delivers executive-level service. We understand that in the corporate world, punctuality is currency, and the drivers are committed to keeping your itinerary running like clockwork.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broomfield Concert Transportation

How far in advance should I book a charter bus for a concert?

We recommend booking your bus as soon as you have your event tickets or date confirmed. For major events like the Great American Picnic or concerts at popular venues, demand is high. Booking 3 to 6 months in advance ensures you get the vehicle type you want at the best possible rate. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability.

Can we drink alcohol on the bus?

Yes, in most cases, passengers of legal drinking age are permitted to consume alcohol on our buses. This makes our services perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties or brewery tours. Please note that we do not provide the alcohol; it is BYOB. Additionally, for the safety of everyone on board, we ask that you avoid glass bottles and a refundable cleaning deposit may be required.

Is there parking for buses at venues like the 1stBank Center or The Commons?

Most major venues in Broomfield have designated areas for commercial bus parking, but policies can change based on the specific event. At the 1stBank Center and Arista district, drop-off is usually curbside, and the bus will park off-site until pickup time to avoid congestion. For events at The Commons, there is usually ample space for buses. Your driver will handle all parking logistics so you don't have to worry about it.

Do your buses have storage for tailgating gear?

Absolutely. Our full-size charter buses and many of our minibuses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays. These are perfect for storing coolers, folding chairs, tents, and other gear for picnics or tailgating. If you are bringing a significant amount of equipment, please let our reservation specialist know so we can ensure you get a bus with maximum storage capacity.

Can you transport groups from Broomfield to Red Rocks Amphitheatre?

Yes! Broomfield is an excellent staging area for trips to Red Rocks. It is approximately a 25-30 minute drive, avoiding much of the downtown Denver traffic. We frequently shuttle groups from Broomfield hotels or park-and-rides to concerts and events at Red Rocks, allowing you to enjoy the show without navigating the winding roads or steep parking lots of the amphitheater.
