Multi-Day Charter Bus Rentals in Ithaca for Festival Weekends

ithaca multi day charter bus rentals in ithaca for festival weekends

Because the Finger Lakes region hosts some of the best multi-day music festivals in Upstate New York, we make it effortless to lock in full-weekend shuttle packages! Headed to the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance at the Trumansburg Fairgrounds in July? Skip the tight parking along Route 96 and let your private shuttle run continuous loops between downtown Ithaca hotels and the festival gates on East Main Street! If your group is staying right in town for Porchfest in the Fall Creek and Northside neighborhoods each September, or catching waterfront sets at the Cayuga Sound Festival in Stewart Park, your driver can drop you off off Cayuga Street before traffic backs up on Route 13. We even cover road trips to CMAC in Canandaigua or the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview in Syracuse! Book one bus or an entire fleet for the whole weekend!

Charter Bus & Party Bus Rentals for Ithaca Concerts

ithaca charter bus and party bus rentals for ithaca concerts

With one form and about 30 seconds, you can lock in a ride to any concert venue in Ithaca or across the state! Catching a big campus show at Cornell University's Barton Hall or Bailey Hall? Steep East Hill roads and strict campus parking permits are no match for your driver, who can drop your group off along Garden Avenue or Campus Road and stage off-site until the final bow. For intimate folk sets at the Hangar Theatre along Taughannock Boulevard (NY-89) or indie nights at Deep Dive on Old Taughannock Boulevard by the Cayuga Inlet, having a designated driver means nobody has to miss out on the fun. Need a long-distance bus rental to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts or Darien Lake Amphitheater? We have you covered there too!

Planning a birthday or bachelor party concert night? Step aboard a party bus for 15 to 50 passengers so the pre-game starts the moment you leave the driveway! If you are an event promoter setting up park-and-ride festival shuttles from remote lots off Route 13, or a university student organization traveling with a huge crowd, full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches offer undercarriage storage bays for camping gear, coolers, and instruments. Whatever your headcount looks like, you choose the ride that fits YOUR plans!

Frequently Asked Questions About Ithaca Concert Bus Rentals

Not sure what you need? Let us help!

Contact us

Does Ithacacharterbuscompany.com own the concert buses?

No, and that's the whole point! Ithacacharterbuscompany.com is a bus rental comparison website, not a local bus company, so you are never limited to just one fleet and can compare multiple independent operators in one search.

How fast can I see prices for an Ithaca concert bus rental?

You can see live availability, interior pictures, and concert bus pricing in under 30 seconds! Just fill out one quick online form with your pickup location, concert date, destination, and estimated passenger count. There is no account needed and no obligation to book! Plus, your personalized quotes are sent straight to your phone by text and email so you can easily share them with the rest of your concert group.

What packages can I book for a concert or music festival?

You can book hourly, one-way, round-trip, multi-stop, full-day, and multi-day packages right through our online quote tool! Whether you need a 5-hour party bus for a night out at the State Theatre of Ithaca or a multi-day shuttle fleet for the GrassRoots Festival in Trumansburg, you can customize your schedule online. Same-day bus rentals are also available when last-minute concert tickets drop!

Where can our concert bus drop us off and park in downtown Ithaca?

For shows near The Commons and the State Theatre of Ithaca, buses typically load and unload passengers curbside along West State Street or West Seneca Street. Because downtown parking garages like the Seneca Street, Green Street, and Cayuga Street garages have low height clearances that cannot fit motorcoaches, your driver will stage in an oversized vehicle area off Route 13 or near the Cayuga Waterfront. Once the encore ends and your group is gathered together, your bus pulls right back up for a smooth pickup!

How does booking my concert bus online work?

Once you compare photos and rates on our results page and pick the bus you love, you reserve and pay online through our national booking platform. Afterward, a confirmation department verifies every stop on your concert itinerary!
