A Travel Guide to Fremont, California's Best Concerts & Events

The Fremont Festival of the Arts

Held every August in the heart of Downtown Fremont, the Fremont Festival of the Arts is one of the largest free street festivals west of the Mississippi. Attracting nearly 400,000 visitors, this event transforms Paseo Padre Parkway and Walnut Avenue into a bustling hub of artisan booths, gourmet food trucks, live music stages, and kid-friendly activities. While the event is a highlight of the summer, parking is notoriously difficult, often requiring attendees to park miles away and walk in the summer heat.

Skip the circling and the long walks by booking a private shuttle bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Fremont. We can arrange a seamless drop-off right near the festival entrance, ensuring your group stays together and saves their energy for exploring the hundreds of art vendors. If you are a community organization or a large family attending together, a minibus rental is the perfect solution. Your driver will drop you off and pick you up on your schedule, so you can enjoy the live bands and funnel cakes without worrying about finding your car in a crowded overflow lot.

For groups coming from out of town—perhaps from San Jose or Oakland—a charter bus rental allows you to travel in air-conditioned comfort. You can store your purchases, from handmade crafts to artwork, safely in the overhead bins or undercarriage storage while you continue to enjoy the festivities. The Fremont Festival of the Arts (Located along Paseo Padre Pkwy, Fremont, CA 94538) is a marathon of fun, and having a dedicated resting place and ride home makes all the difference.

Summer Concert Series at Central Park (Lake Elizabeth)

During the warm summer months, the Central Park Summer Concert Series is the place to be on Thursday evenings. Located at the performance pavilion near beautiful Lake Elizabeth, these concerts feature a diverse lineup of bands ranging from classic rock tributes to R&B and pop. It is a beloved community tradition where families and friends gather with picnic blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy music under the stars. However, the parking lots at Central Park fill up hours before the first note is played.

Charter Bus Rental Company Fremont offers the ideal transportation solution for large groups heading to the lake. Whether you are a senior center organizing a group outing, a company hosting an employee appreciation picnic, or a neighborhood association, a charter bus rental ensures everyone arrives safely and simultaneously. Your bus offers ample storage for coolers, folding chairs, and blankets, so you don't have to lug heavy gear from a distant parking spot.

Plus, traveling by bus adds to the communal experience. You can socialize, play music over the bus's PA system to get in the mood, and enjoy the scenic views of Mission Peak as you approach the park. Your driver will handle the busy traffic on Stevenson Boulevard while you relax. Central Park (40000 Paseo Padre Pkwy, Fremont, CA 94538) is the jewel of Fremont, and a private bus rental is the best way to experience it hassle-free.

Cultural Celebrations: Festival of India & Diwali

Fremont is known for its rich cultural diversity, and nowhere is this more evident than during the annual Festival of India and Diwali celebrations. The Festival of India and Parade, typically held in August, draws thousands of people to the streets near the Fremont Supreme Court and Liberty Street to celebrate Indian culture, heritage, and independence. The event features a grand parade with floats, Bollywood celebrities, and a fairground filled with food and dance. Similarly, the Diwali Festival of Lights in the fall illuminates the city with joy and celebration.

Traffic closures and massive crowds can make navigating these events in personal vehicles extremely stressful. Charter Bus Rental Company Fremont specializes in event transportation for cultural groups, dance troupes performing in the parade, and extended families. We can provide a fleet of shuttle buses to transport attendees from remote parking areas or directly from local temples and community centers. Our buses provide a cool, quiet respite from the bustling crowds, allowing elderly family members or young children to rest when needed.

If your group is participating in the parade, our charter buses offer plenty of space for costumes, props, and instruments. We can coordinate a pickup point at the end of the parade route to whisk your tired but happy group away to a celebratory dinner at a local restaurant. Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on the celebration.

Niles Canyon Railway Events

For a trip back in time, the Niles Canyon Railway offers historic train rides that delight visitors of all ages. Throughout the year, they host special events like wine-tasting trains, the antique fair, and the incredibly popular Train of Lights during the holiday season. The historic district of Niles, with its charming antique shops and silent film history, is a fantastic destination, but its narrow streets and limited parking can be a challenge for large groups.

A charter bus rental to Niles is the smartest way to visit. We can drop your group off right at the Niles Station (37029 Mission Blvd, Fremont, CA 94536), allowing you to bypass the hunt for street parking. This is especially valuable during the holidays when the Train of Lights sells out and traffic backs up along Mission Boulevard. A private bus ensures your group makes their boarding time without stress.

Are you planning a holiday party? Rent a luxury party bus or a minibus to take your team to the Train of Lights. You can enjoy festive music and drinks on the bus (if all passengers are of age) before boarding the train for a magical ride through the canyon. After the train ride, your driver can take you to a local restaurant in Fremont or Union City to continue the festivities. It is the perfect way to create a seamless, magical holiday experience.

Concerts and Performing Arts at the Smith Center

The Gary Soren Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts at Ohlone College is a cultural hub for the Tri-Cities, hosting everything from symphony orchestras and ballet performances to Broadway-style musicals and guest lectures. Located on the hillside of the Ohlone College campus, the venue offers stunning views but can be tricky to navigate for first-time visitors, especially with the tiered parking lots.

Charter Bus Rental Company Fremont provides door-to-door service for theater-goers. We are a favorite among senior living communities, school groups, and arts patrons who want a VIP experience. Your charter bus driver can drop your group off at the circle directly in front of the theater, eliminating the need to walk up the many steps from the lower parking lots. After the curtain call, your bus will be waiting to take you home comfortably.

Our buses are equipped with plush, reclining seats and climate control, making the ride to and from the Smith Center (43600 Mission Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539) as enjoyable as the performance itself. If you are organizing a student field trip to see a play, our buses come with DVD players and monitors, so you can show educational materials or related movies en route to the venue.

Fremont's strategic location makes it the perfect launching pad for attending major events throughout the Bay Area.

Traffic on the I-880 corridor on game days is legendary for all the wrong reasons. By renting a charter bus or party bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Fremont, you transform that gridlock into tailgating time. Your group can bond, hype up for the game, and enjoy beverages responsibly while a driver handles the stop-and-go traffic. We offer ample storage for tailgating gear, coolers, and banners in the undercarriage luggage bays of our full-size coaches.

Avoid the exorbitant parking fees at major stadiums and the hassle of coordinating designated drivers. We will drop you off close to the stadium entrance and pick you up at a designated spot when the event ends. Whether you are heading south to San Jose or crossing the bay to San Francisco, Charter Bus Rental Company Fremont makes the journey part of the fun.
