A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Soaring High at the Tigard Festival of Balloons
The crown jewel of Tigard’s event calendar is undoubtedly the Tigard Festival of Balloons. Held annually at Cook Park (17005 SW 92nd Ave, Tigard, OR 97224), this weekend-long celebration features spectacular hot air balloon launches at sunrise, a "Night Glow" event, live music, carnival rides, and a craft fair. While the sight of dozens of balloons filling the sky is breathtaking, the ground-level traffic situation can be less than ideal. Thousands of visitors flock to Cook Park, and parking lots fill up before the sun even breaks the horizon.
When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Tigard, you bypass the parking nightmare entirely. We can arrange to drop your group off near the festival entrance, allowing you immediate access to the best viewing spots for the morning launch. Afterward, your bus can wait at a designated off-site location until you are ready to leave. This is particularly helpful for large family reunions, photography clubs, or youth groups who want to experience the magic without the stress of circling for a parking spot for forty-five minutes. Plus, with onboard climate control, your group has a comfortable place to cool down if the summer afternoon heat kicks in.
Catch a Show at the Broadway Rose Theatre Company
For lovers of musical theater, Tigard offers a gem that rivals any production in downtown Portland: the Broadway Rose Theatre Company. Hosting performances at the New Stage Auditorium (12850 SW Grant Ave, Tigard, OR 97223), this nationally recognized company puts on high-caliber musicals, comedies, and revues throughout the year. It is a favorite destination for senior living communities, school drama clubs, and corporate social outings. However, coordinating arrival times for a large group of ticket holders can be tricky, especially for matinee shows where traffic on Highway 99W is unpredictable.
A private minibus rental is the perfect solution for theater-goers. We provide curb-to-curb service, ensuring your group arrives with plenty of time to find their seats before the curtain rises. There is no need for your attendees to walk long distances from overflow parking lots; we drop you right at the front door. After the show, your driver will be waiting to take you to a post-show dinner at a local favorite like Thirsty Lion Gastropub (10205 SW Washington Square Rd, Tigard, OR 97223) or transport you safely back home. With plush seating and a smooth ride, the theater experience begins the moment you step onto the bus.
Summer Concerts and the Tigard Street Fair
When summer hits the Willamette Valley, Tigard comes alive with community spirit. The Tigard Street Fair takes over Main Street in Downtown Tigard, transforming the area into a bustling hub of vendors, street food, and live entertainment. Similarly, the City of Tigard hosts a popular "Concerts in the Park" series at various locations, including Summerlake Park (11450 SW Winter Lake Dr, Tigard, OR 97223). These events are fantastic for community building, but road closures and limited street parking can make accessibility a challenge for larger groups.
By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Tigard, you keep your group organizing simple. Whether you are a church group, a local business team, or a neighborhood association, traveling together ensures no one gets lost due to road diversions. The drivers know the best drop-off points to get you close to the music and food trucks. You can even store picnic supplies, lawn chairs, and blankets in the undercarriage storage bays of our larger buses, keeping the aisles clear and your hands free until you reach your spot on the lawn.
Concerts on the Lawn at McMenamins Edgefield
While not technically in Tigard, McMenamins Edgefield (2126 SW Halsey St, Troutdale, OR 97060) is a premier concert destination for Tigard residents. This historic venue hosts major touring acts on its sprawling lawn, offering a festival-like atmosphere that is beloved by Oregonians. The drive from Tigard involves navigating the traffic of I-84 or I-205, which can be grueling on a concert night. Furthermore, enjoying the venue's famous handcrafted ales and wines means you need a safe, reliable designated driver.
Charter Bus Rental Company Tigard offers the ultimate concert shuttle experience. Gather your friends or fan club in Tigard, load up your coolers for the ride (check with our reservation specialists about onboard alcohol policies), and let a driver handle the highway congestion. You can pre-game with your favorite playlists on our premium sound systems and relax in reclining seats. Once the encore is over and thousands of cars are stuck in the parking lot gridlock, your group can relax in an air-conditioned cabin while your driver navigates the exit. It transforms a concert trip from a stressful drive into a VIP experience.
Major Events at the Moda Center and Providence Park
Tigard residents are just a short drive from world-class entertainment in Portland, but that "short drive" can feel like an eternity during rush hour or game day. Whether you are heading to the Moda Center (1 N Center Ct St, Portland, OR 97227) for a Trail Blazers game or a blockbuster concert, or to Providence Park (1844 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97205) for a Timbers match, parking fees can be astronomical, and finding multiple spots for a group is nearly impossible.
Charter Bus Rental Company Tigard specializes in sporting event and arena concert transportation. We pick up your group at a central location in Tigard—be it a park-and-ride, a corporate office, or a school—and deliver you directly to the oversized vehicle loading zones at these major venues. This is ideal for corporate outings, alumni associations, or youth sports teams. You avoid the high cost of individual parking passes and the hassle of split-up groups. After the event, your bus will be waiting at a pre-arranged location, ready to whisk you away from the downtown chaos and back to the quiet of the suburbs.
Washington County Fair and Rodeo Transportation
Just a quick trip west from Tigard lies the Westside Commons (formerly the Washington County Fair Complex) at 801 NE 34th Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97124. The annual Washington County Fair is a massive draw, featuring big-name country concerts, a rodeo, and carnival attractions. For 4-H clubs, summer camps, and large families in Tigard, attending the fair is a summer tradition. However, coordinating a caravan of minivans and trucks during the fair's peak hours can lead to separation and frustration.
A school bus rental or a standard charter bus is the most efficient way to transport large groups to the fairgrounds. We can accommodate all your gear—from strollers to backpacks—and ensure that every child and chaperone arrives at the same time. Our buses serve as a perfect meeting point or mobile headquarters. If you are attending an evening concert at the fair, a charter bus ensures that everyone gets home safely after a long day of sun and excitement. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Tigard handle the logistics so you can focus on the funnel cakes and Ferris wheels.
Wine Country Tours Starting from Tigard
Tigard is perfectly positioned as the gateway to the renowned Willamette Valley wine country. Just a short drive south on 99W brings you to world-class vineyards in Dundee, Newberg, and beyond. Planning a bachelorette party, a corporate retreat, or a birthday celebration involves visiting multiple tasting rooms, which makes driving yourself impossible if you plan to partake in the tastings. Venues like Argyle Winery (691 OR-99W, Dundee, OR 97115) and Stoller Family Estate are popular stops for groups.
Rent a luxury minibus or sprinter van from Charter Bus Rental Company Tigard for a safe, sophisticated wine tour. You build the itinerary; we handle the driving.
