A Travel Guide to Lakewood, Colorado's Best Concerts & Events

The Iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre Experience

While technically located just across the border in Morrison, Red Rocks Amphitheatre is the crown jewel of the Lakewood area’s entertainment scene and a bucket-list destination for music lovers worldwide. Carved into towering red sandstone monoliths, this naturally acoustically perfect venue hosts everything from legendary rock bands and electronic dance music festivals to “Film on the Rocks” and sunrise yoga sessions. The experience of seeing a show here is unparalleled, but the logistics of getting a large group up the mountain can be daunting. Traffic backs up miles down C-470, and navigating the winding roads to the parking lots can be a challenge, especially for those unfamiliar with the altitude and terrain.

That is where Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood steps in. We provide dedicated concert shuttle services to Red Rocks Amphitheatre (18300 W Alameda Pkwy, Morrison, CO 80465), ensuring your group bypasses the stress of driving and parking. Your drivers are experts at navigating the venue’s specific drop-off zones, such as the Upper North Lot or the Lower South Lot, getting you as close to the entrance as possible. With a private charter bus, your group can enjoy a tailgate party in the lot with plenty of room for coolers and chairs stored in the undercarriage bays. After the final encore, you can relax in reclining seats and enjoy the ride down the mountain, safe in the knowledge that your designated driver has everything under control.

Cultural Events at the Lakewood Cultural Center

For those seeking a more intimate and refined arts experience, the Lakewood Cultural Center is the heartbeat of the city’s creative community. Located in the heart of the city, this state-of-the-art facility features a 320-seat theater, rotating art galleries, and community meeting spaces. The Center hosts a diverse calendar of events throughout the year, including the popular “Lakewood Cultural Center Presents” series which brings national and international touring acts in dance, theater, and music to the local stage. It is also home to local productions by the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra and the Rocky Mountain Ballet Theatre.

Booking a minibus rental for a night at the Lakewood Cultural Center (470 S Allison Pkwy, Lakewood, CO 80226) adds a touch of elegance to your cultural outing. Whether you are organizing a field trip for a local school to see a matinee performance or coordinating a senior citizen group outing for an evening of classical music, we have the perfect vehicle. Our shuttle services allow you to drop your group off right at the front circle, avoiding the walk from the parking garage, which is especially helpful during Colorado’s snowy winter months. Your driver will be waiting nearby when the curtain falls, ready to whisk you away to a post-show dinner at a nearby restaurant in Belmar.

Festivals and Community Gatherings at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park

Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park is a 20th-century history park, museum, and festival venue that serves as the community's gathering place for some of its most beloved annual traditions. This sprawling outdoor space hosts events that draw crowds from all over the Denver metro area, including the "Sounds Exciting!" summer concert series and the massive Earth Day celebration. The park’s unique setting, featuring historic buildings and a picturesque lake, provides a stunning backdrop for outdoor festivals, but parking can become scarce very quickly during major events.

When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood for events at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park (801 S Yarrow St, Lakewood, CO 80226), you eliminate the headache of circling the surrounding neighborhoods for a parking spot. We can arrange for a convenient drop-off point near the festival entrance, allowing your group to unload picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and strollers with ease. For large community organizations or corporate picnics held on the grounds, our fleet can provide continuous shuttle loops from satellite parking lots or local transit stations, ensuring that all attendees arrive safely and efficiently. Enjoy the music, the food trucks, and the history without worrying about the drive home.

Live Music and Nightlife in the Belmar District

The Belmar District is Lakewood’s downtown destination, a vibrant mix of retail, dining, and entertainment that comes alive at night. Throughout the summer, the streets and plazas of Belmar host various live music events, art walks, and holiday markets. It is a fantastic destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate team-building dinners. With dozens of bars and restaurants concentrated in a walkable area, it is easy to hop from venue to venue, but coordinating a convoy of rideshares or designated drivers can dampen the festive spirit.

A private party bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood is the ultimate way to experience Belmar (464 S Teller St, Lakewood, CO 80226). Your group can start the evening with dinner at a steakhouse, move on to a comedy show, and finish the night dancing at a local lounge, all while keeping your belongings secure on the bus. Our party buses come equipped with premium sound systems, LED lighting, and comfortable wraparound seating, keeping the energy high between stops. Your driver acts as your personal chauffeur for the night, ensuring everyone stays together and gets home, no matter how late the celebration goes.

Sporting Events Near Lakewood

Lakewood’s strategic location just west of Denver makes it the perfect base camp for sports fans. Whether you are a die-hard Broncos fan, a Rockies enthusiast, or a supporter of the Nuggets and Avalanche, the major stadiums are just a short drive away. However, game day traffic on I-25 and Colfax Avenue can be a nightmare, and parking at venues like Empower Field at Mile High or Coors Field is notoriously expensive and difficult to navigate with multiple cars.

Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood offers specialized sporting event transportation that takes the hassle out of game day. Gather your fan club, alumni association, or fantasy football league and load up a charter bus for a tailgate to remember. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage for grills, coolers, cornhole boards, and tents. We will drop you off right near the stadium action—whether it’s Empower Field (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204), Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205), or Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204). After the game, simply board your warm, comfortable bus and skip the surge pricing and chaos of ride-sharing apps. We also provide transportation for local amateur teams traveling to tournaments at the Gold Crown Field House or regional competitions across Colorado.

Cider Days and Seasonal Festivities

One of Lakewood’s signature events is Cider Days, an annual harvest festival that celebrates the region’s agricultural history. Held every October at Heritage Lakewood, this event features tractor pulls, apple pressing, pie-eating contests, and arguably the largest collection of vintage tractors in the region. It is a family-favorite event that attracts thousands of visitors. In addition to Cider Days, Lakewood hosts holiday tree lighting ceremonies and summer street fairs that define the local community spirit.

For large families, church groups, or senior living communities wishing to attend Cider Days (801 S Yarrow St, Lakewood, CO 80226), a charter bus rental is the most convenient option. We can accommodate passengers of all ages and mobility levels, with ADA-accessible buses available upon request. Forget about coordinating a meet-up spot in a crowded festival; with a private bus, your group travels together from start to finish. You can store purchases, pumpkins, and prizes in the overhead bins and enjoy the air-conditioned or heated cabin if the Colorado weather takes a turn. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood handle the logistics while you enjoy the cider and festivities.

Private Group Transportation for Weddings and Special Occasions

Lakewood and its surrounding foothills offer stunning backdrops for weddings, from the rolling greens of the Fox Hollow Golf Course to the panoramic views at The Vista at Applewood Golf Course. However, many of these scenic venues are tucked away from main hotels and public transit routes, making guest transportation a critical logistical detail. Ensuring your guests arrive on time and get back to their hotels safely after the reception is paramount for a successful event.

Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood specializes in wedding shuttle services tailored to your specific timeline. We can arrange for a shuttle to pick up guests from hotels in Union Square or downtown Denver and transport them to your venue in Lakewood (such as The Vista at 14001 W 32nd Ave, Golden, CO 80401). We can run continuous loops for reception departures, ensuring even the elderly guests or those leaving early have a ride when they need it. Our fleet ranges from sleek all-black or all-white motorcoaches to luxury sprinter vans for the bridal party. With amenities like WiFi and auxiliary ports for your wedding playlist, the ride becomes part of the celebration.
