A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Crown Complex: Fayetteville's Premier Entertainment Hub
When major touring acts, rodeos, or comedy legends come to Fayetteville, they head to the Crown Complex (1960 Coliseum Dr, Fayetteville, NC 28306). This massive multi-venue facility includes the Crown Coliseum, the Crown Theatre, the Crown Arena, and the Expo Center. It is the heartbeat of large-scale entertainment in the region. We have transported countless groups here for events ranging from Disney on Ice to heavy metal concerts and the Fayetteville Marksmen hockey games.
While the Crown Complex is an incredible venue, the logistical reality of attending an event here with a large group can be challenging. The parking lots are expansive, often requiring a long walk to the entrance, and the traffic exiting onto US-301 or Owen Drive after a sold-out show can result in significant delays. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Fayetteville, you bypass these headaches. Your driver can drop your group off curbside near the entrance, allowing you to head straight to the security check while the driver handles the parking. After the encore, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to your next destination, whether that is a late-night dinner on Skibo Road or back to your hotel.
Our motorcoaches are perfect for these events. With ample undercarriage storage, you can bring along tailgating gear for sporting events or merchandise from concerts without cluttering the cabin. Plus, with reclining seats and climate control, the ride home is a relaxing end to an exciting night.
Outdoor Festivities at Festival Park
Located in the heart of downtown, Festival Park (335 Ray Ave, Fayetteville, NC 28301) is the crown jewel of Fayetteville’s outdoor event scene. This premier venue offers an open-air stage and a vast lawn that hosts some of the city's most beloved gatherings, including the Fayetteville After 5 summer concert series and various holiday celebrations. The atmosphere here is electric, offering a mix of live music, local food trucks, and community spirit.
However, Festival Park’s downtown location means parking is at a premium. Public lots fill up hours before major events start, leaving latecomers to circle one-way streets looking for a spot. By renting a minibus or charter bus, your group avoids the scramble for street parking. We can navigate the tight downtown grid, drop your group near the Ray Avenue entrance, and return for pickup once the festivities conclude.
If you are attending an all-day festival, our buses offer a distinct advantage: comfort. You can store lawn chairs, blankets, and coolers in the bus, retrieving them only when you arrive. If the summer heat becomes too much, or if a sudden Sandhills storm rolls through, you have a climate-controlled haven waiting for you nearby.
The Dogwood Festival: A Springtime Tradition
For over 40 years, the Fayetteville Dogwood Festival has been the city's signature event. Held every spring when the dogwood trees are in full bloom, this festival takes over downtown Fayetteville and Festival Park with a street fair, midway rides, national recording artists, and endless food vendors. It draws visitors from all over North Carolina and beyond, transforming the city into a bustling hub of activity.
Navigating Fayetteville during the Dogwood Festival requires patience and local knowledge. Road closures are common to accommodate pedestrian traffic and street vendors, turning standard GPS routes into confusion. At Charter Bus Rental Company Fayetteville, the drivers can handle local event logistics. They know the alternate routes to get your group close to the action without getting stuck in gridlock.
For large groups—such as church groups, extended families, or social clubs—booking a charter bus for the Dogwood Festival is the smartest travel hack. Instead of coordinating a caravan of ten different cars and trying to find each other in the crowd, you travel as a single unit. Use the onboard PA system to coordinate meeting times and locations with your group, ensuring no one gets left behind after a long day of funnel cakes and live music.
Intimate Venues and Downtown Nightlife
Not every event in Fayetteville takes place in a stadium. The city boasts a thriving arts scene centered around venues like the Cape Fear Regional Theatre (1209 Hay St, Fayetteville, NC 28305) and the Gilbert Theater (116 Green St, Fayetteville, NC 28301). These intimate spaces host plays, musicals, and community events that are perfect for smaller groups, school field trips, or senior citizen outings.
For these types of outings, our 18 to 25-passenger minibuses are the ideal transportation solution. They are compact enough to navigate the historic streets of downtown easily but spacious enough to provide a luxury experience. Following a show, why not keep the evening going? Fayetteville’s downtown is home to fantastic dining and nightlife. Your driver can shuttle your group from the theater to a group dinner at a local staple like Huske Hardware House (405 Hay St, Fayetteville, NC 28301) for craft brews and burgers.
With a private bus rental, you have a built-in designated driver. This is essential for bachelor or bachelorette parties exploring the nightlife on Hay Street or Person Street. Enjoy the evening responsibly knowing that a driver is waiting to ensure everyone gets home or back to the hotel comfortably.
International Folk Festival: Celebrating Diversity
Reflecting the global background of the military community at Fort Liberty, the International Folk Festival is a vibrant celebration of culture, art, and cuisine held downtown. Organized by the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County, this event features the famous Parade of Nations, authentic international cuisine, and performances from around the world.
This event is a fantastic educational opportunity, making it a popular choice for school field trips and youth organizations. Charter Bus Rental Company Fayetteville specializes in student transportation. Our modern charter buses are a significant upgrade from the traditional yellow school bus. With amenities like onboard WiFi and DVD players with flat-screen monitors, you can keep students entertained and educational videos playing while en route to the festival. Plus, the comfort of your students is our top priority.
We can arrange drop-offs near the Arts Council building (301 Hay St, Fayetteville, NC 28301), positioning your group right in the center of the Parade of Nations. Let us handle the traffic so your group can focus on the global experience.
Segra Stadium: More Than Just Baseball
Home to the Fayetteville Woodpeckers, a Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Houston Astros, Segra Stadium (460 Hay St, Fayetteville, NC 28301) is a modern gem in downtown Fayetteville. While baseball is the main attraction, the stadium also hosts concerts, community events, and holiday light shows. The stadium features the AEEX Luxury Lounge and outdoor party decks, making it a prime location for corporate outings and client appreciation events.
Impress your corporate clients or treat your employees by booking an executive shuttle or charter bus to Segra Stadium. There is no need for your team to worry about parking receipts or walking long distances in business casual attire. We offer point-to-point service from your office to the stadium. Onboard, your team can utilize power outlets and tray tables to wrap up last-minute work or simply relax in reclining leather seats before the first pitch.
Whether you are heading there for a Woodpeckers game or a special concert event on the field, Charter Bus Rental Company Fayetteville ensures your group arrives in style. We can even coordinate multi-stop itineraries, picking up attendees from the airport or various hotels before heading to the stadium.
Why Choose a Charter Bus for Fayetteville Events?

Comfort First: We prioritize your comfort above all else. The drivers can handle specific traffic patterns of Cumberland County and the surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fayetteville Concert Transportation
Where does the bus park during the event?
Once your driver drops your group off at the venue—whether it is the Crown Complex or Festival Park—they will take the bus to a designated parking area. You do not need to worry about paying for parking meters or finding a spot; that is handled by the driver. We recommend exchanging contact information with your driver so you can coordinate the exact pickup time and location for when your event concludes. For all-day events, the driver may go off-site to rest but will return promptly at the agreed-upon time.
How far in advance should we book for big festivals?
For major Fayetteville events like the Dogwood Festival in April or the International Folk Festival in September, demand for charter buses is extremely high. We strongly recommend booking your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This ensures you have the widest selection of vehicles to choose from and helps you lock in the best rates. While we can often accommodate last-minute bookings, planning ahead is always the best strategy for large annual events.
Do you serve military groups from Fort Liberty?
Absolutely. We are proud to serve the brave men and women stationed at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg). We have extensive experience navigating the logistics required for military transportation, including base access protocols and GSA-approved travel. Whether you need transportation for a unit outing, a family day event, or a transfer to a deployment center, Charter Bus Rental Company Fayetteville has the fleet and the expertise to handle your request with professionalism and discretion.
What sizes of buses are available for concert groups?
We offer a diverse fleet to accommodate groups of any size. For smaller groups attending a concert at the Crown Theatre or a show at the Gilbert Theater, our 18, 20, or 25-passenger minibuses are perfect. They offer the comfort of a coach in a compact size. For large groups, such as schools, church congregations, or corporate teams heading to the Crown Coliseum, our 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches are the ideal solution. These come equipped with undercarriage storage and onboard restrooms. If you are unsure which size is right for you, give our team a call at 910-778-9850, and we will help you select the perfect vehicle.
