A few of the companies we’ve worked with

The Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort

One of the most significant events on the Palm Harbor calendar is the Valspar Championship, an official PGA TOUR event played annually at the prestigious Innisbrook Resort. While golf is the main attraction, the event is also famous for "Valspar LIVE," a concert series that features major national recording artists performing after play concludes. In the past, acts like Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley, and Maroon 5 have graced the stage. For corporate groups, country clubs, or large families, this is the premier social event of the year in Palm Harbor.

Parking at Innisbrook during the championship can be incredibly difficult due to the sheer volume of attendees. General parking is often located miles away, requiring a shuttle transfer. By booking a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Harbor, your group can bypass the remote lots. We can arrange drop-off and pick-up as close to the Copperhead Course entrance as permitted, saving your group time and energy. Plus, with ample storage under the bus, you have plenty of room for folding chairs, sunscreen, and souvenirs. Enjoy the golf and the music without the stress of navigating tournament traffic on US Highway 19.

Palm Harbor Citrus Festival

Celebrate the rich agricultural history of the region at the annual Palm Harbor Citrus Festival. Usually held in the historic downtown district, this event is a favorite for locals and visitors. The festival features carnival rides, games, a Miss Palm Harbor pageant, and, most importantly, live music from local and regional bands. It is a fantastic event for school groups, youth organizations, and church groups looking for wholesome, community-centered entertainment.

The historic streets of downtown Palm Harbor are charming but narrow, and parking during the Citrus Festival is extremely limited. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for transporting your group to the heart of the action. Your driver can drop your group off near Florida Avenue, allowing immediate access to the food trucks and stages. Parents and chaperones will appreciate the safety and organization of keeping all students on one vehicle, while the kids can enjoy the air-conditioning and WiFi on the ride over. Make the Citrus Festival a stress-free tradition with Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Harbor.

First Friday Celebrations

If you are looking for a recurring event that captures the spirit of Palm Harbor's nightlife and community, look no further than First Friday. Held on the first Friday of every month, this street party transforms downtown Palm Harbor into a pedestrian-friendly zone filled with craft vendors, local artisans, and live music stages. It is an excellent destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties, adult birthday celebrations, or corporate team-building happy hours. The local bars and restaurants, such as The Witch's Brew or Thirsty Marlin, often have specials and live bands of their own.

Since First Friday is centered around enjoying local food and drinks, safety is a priority. Renting a party bus or minibus allows your entire group to enjoy the festivities responsibly. You won't have to worry about designating drivers or splitting up into multiple rideshares with surge pricing. Your private bus acts as your dedicated chauffeur for the evening. We can pick you up from your hotel or office, drop you off right at the barricades, and be waiting to take you home safely when the music stops.

Concerts at The Centre (CSAP)

The Centre, managed by the Council of Seniors of Amazing Palm Harbor (CSAP), is a hub for community engagement and entertainment. This venue frequently hosts tribute bands, dinner shows, and holiday concerts that are particularly popular with senior groups and active living communities. From Doo-Wop revivals to classic rock tributes, The Centre offers affordable and accessible entertainment right in the neighborhood.

For senior living communities or social clubs, mobility and convenience are key. Our charter buses are designed with comfort in mind, offering kneeling features for easy boarding and ample handrails. We can provide door-to-door service from your community center directly to the entrance of The Centre on 16th Street. The drivers are patient and ensure that every member of your group feels comfortable and cared for. Enjoy a night of nostalgia and music without the worry of driving at night.

Taste of Palm Harbor

Foodies and music lovers unite at the Taste of Palm Harbor! This annual event showcases the culinary talents of the area's best restaurants, accompanied by a backdrop of live musical performances. It is held in the historic downtown area and proceeds often benefit local non-profit organizations. This is a great event for large groups of friends or extended families who want to sample seafood, barbecue, and craft beverages while listening to live rock, blues, or country music.

With food booths lining the streets and crowds gathering for the bands, finding a place to park multiple cars is nearly impossible. By booking a shuttle bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Harbor, you streamline your arrival. We can coordinate a pick-up schedule that works for your group, ensuring you arrive hungry and leave happy. Plus, the onboard storage is perfect for stashing any leftovers or merchandise you pick up from local vendors.

Ruth Eckerd Hall

While technically located just south of the Palm Harbor border in Clearwater, Ruth Eckerd Hall is the primary performing arts venue for Palm Harbor residents. This world-class facility hosts Broadway tours, Grammy-winning musicians, comedians, and orchestral performances. It is a staple destination for school band trips, corporate client entertainment, and large social outings. Whether you are seeing Ringo Starr or a touring production of *Hamilton*, this venue is a cultural cornerstone.

Traffic on McMullen Booth Road can be heavy before showtime. A private charter bus rental allows your group to relax and socialize before the curtain rises. We can drop your group off right at the main entrance under the porte-cochère, saving you from long walks across the parking lot in evening attire. For school groups attending educational performances, our buses provide a safe, cohesive way to manage student headcounts and keep everyone together.

The Sound at Coachman Park

A newer addition to the local music scene, The Sound at Coachman Park is an outdoor waterfront venue located a short drive from Palm Harbor. It hosts major concerts and festivals with stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway. This is a fantastic summer destination for youth groups, college trips, or company picnics. The open-air environment pairs perfectly with Florida's weather, making it a must-visit for music fans.

Outdoor concerts often involve bringing blankets, lawn chairs, and coolers. Transporting all this gear in separate cars is a hassle. A full-size charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Palm Harbor offers massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate all your concert gear. Your driver will handle the parking logistics while you head straight to the lawn to claim the best viewing spot. Enjoy the breeze and the beats while we handle the drive.
