A Travel Guide to New Braunfels, Texas's Best Concerts & Events

Live Music Under the Stars at Whitewater Amphitheater

Whitewater Amphitheater is known across Texas as one of the most scenic music venues in the state, nestled right along the banks of the Guadalupe River. It regularly hosts major touring acts in country, rock, and Americana music, drawing thousands of fans to the Horseshoe Loop area. However, anyone who has attended a show here knows that the parking situation can be a logistical nightmare. The gravel lots fill up hours before showtime, and the traffic bottleneck on FM 306 after the encore can leave you stuck for over an hour. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels, you skip the stress entirely. The driver can drop your group off right at the designated gate, allowing you to walk straight in while others are still hunting for a spot in the dust.

A private bus rental is also the ultimate tailgating solution for a Whitewater concert. Our buses offer ample undercarriage storage for coolers, folding chairs, and cornhole boards, allowing your group to pregame in style before heading into the venue. Once the concert ends, you won't have to worry about navigating dark, winding river roads or waiting for a rideshare that might never come in a low-signal area. The driver will be waiting to transport everyone back to your hotel or home.

Texas History and Tunes at Gruene Hall

No trip to New Braunfels is complete without a visit to Gruene Hall, Texas’ oldest continually operating dance hall. Built in 1878, this iconic venue has hosted legends like George Strait, Willie Nelson, and Lyle Lovett. The surrounding Gruene Historic District is charming, featuring antique shops and riverfront dining at the Gristmill, but it was built for horses and buggies, not modern traffic. Parking in Gruene is extremely limited, especially on weekends when the town is packed with tourists. By booking a minibus or shuttle from Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels, you eliminate the hassle of circling the small lots or parking miles away and walking in the heat. We can drop your group off right in front of the dance hall, giving you more time to grab a cold beer and hit the dance floor.

Gruene Hall is a favorite spot for bachelor and bachelorette parties, family reunions, and corporate outings. A private shuttle ensures your group stays together throughout the evening. You can enjoy dinner at the Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar next door and then head to the show without worrying about moving cars or coordinating designated drivers. With a bus rental, the party starts the moment you step onboard, with amenities like AUX hookups to play your favorite Texas country playlist en route. Let us handle the narrow streets of Gruene while you two-step the night away.

Wurstfest: The Ultimate Sausage Festival Tradition

Every November, New Braunfels transforms into the ultimate celebration of German culture during Wurstfest. This 10-day festival attracts over 100,000 visitors who come for the sausage, the beer, and the polka music. While it is undoubtedly the city's biggest event of the year, it also creates the city's biggest traffic jams. Parking near the Wurstfest grounds in Landa Park is scarce and often expensive, involving long walks or crowded public shuttles. Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels offers the perfect solution for large groups attending the festival. Whether you are bringing a corporate team, a large family reunion, or a social club, a private charter bus ensures you arrive together and ready to "Prost!"

comfort is a top priority during Wurstfest, where beer flows freely. By renting a charter bus, you guarantee a safe ride home for every member of your party. There is no need to worry about rideshare surge pricing or splitting the group into multiple vehicles. Your dedicated driver will handle the chaos of Landa Street traffic, dropping you off near the entrance and picking you up when you have had your fill of potato pancakes and pitchers. We have helped groups from San Antonio, Austin, and beyond make Wurstfest an annual tradition without the transportation headaches.

Catch a Show at the Historic Brauntex Theatre

For a more refined evening of entertainment, the Brauntex Performing Arts Theatre in downtown New Braunfels is a cultural gem. This restored 1940s art deco theater hosts everything from classic movie screenings and symphony performances to tribute bands and comedy acts. Located right on West San Antonio Street, the theater is surrounded by excellent dining options, making it perfect for a dinner-and-a-show group outing. However, downtown parking can be tricky, with metered spots and limited garage space. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels is the elegant solution for theater-going groups, senior centers, or school field trips.

We can arrange a seamless itinerary that includes pick-up from your location, a stop for dinner at a downtown staple like Myron's Prime Steakhouse, and curbside drop-off at the Brauntex. You won't have to worry about your group getting separated at crosswalks or running late for the curtain call while searching for parking. Our buses offer comfortable, climate-controlled interiors that are perfect for relaxing before and after the performance. Whether you are organizing a trip for a senior living community or a company appreciation night, we provide the reliable, upscale transportation your group deserves.

Float the Comal or Guadalupe River with a Group

Floating the river is a rite of passage in New Braunfels, but the logistics of "toobing" with a large group can be complicated. You typically need two sets of cars (one at the entry point and one at the exit), or you have to rely on crowded public shuttles that run on fixed schedules. Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels simplifies your river trip by acting as your private shuttle for the day. We can drop your group off at the Prince Solms Park Tube Chute or your preferred outfitter on the Guadalupe, and then meet you at your designated exit point downstream. This means no lost keys in the river, no coordinating vehicle swaps, and no walking on hot pavement with heavy coolers.

River trips can be exhausting under the Texas sun. After a few hours on the water, there is nothing better than climbing into an air-conditioned charter bus with reclining seats. There is plenty of storage space in the luggage bays for your deflated tubes, coolers, and wet gear, keeping the passenger cabin clean and dry. Whether you are planning a massive fraternity/sorority float, a corporate team-building day, or a family reunion water adventure, we ensure everyone gets off the water and back home comfortably. Please note that while we transport your coolers, glass and styrofoam are banned on New Braunfels rivers, so pack accordingly! Prince Solms Park: 100 Liebscher Dr, New Braunfels, TX 78130

Comal County Fair & Rodeo Transportation

Held every September, the Comal County Fair & Rodeo is one of the largest county fairs in Central Texas, featuring PRCA rodeo action, a carnival, livestock shows, and live music. It’s a fantastic event for families and groups, but the fairgrounds on Common Street can become gridlocked with traffic. Navigating a caravan of cars into the grass parking lots can take upwards of an hour during peak times. Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels provides an efficient alternative for large groups, 4-H clubs, and school organizations attending the fair. We can transport your entire group in a single vehicle, bypassing the stress of coordinating arrival times.

Our fleet includes options perfect for school field trips and agricultural groups. Our full-size charter buses come with onboard restrooms, which is a huge benefit when traveling with children or seniors who might want to avoid the lines at the fairgrounds immediately upon arrival. Plus, the onboard PA system allows group leaders to do headcounts and provide instructions before disembarking. Enjoy the mutton bustin', the deep-fried treats, and the exhibits without the headache of parking logistics. Let us handle the driving while you enjoy the "Largest County Fair in Central Texas."

Comal County Fairgrounds: 701 E Common St, New Braunfels, TX 78130

Krause’s Cafe and Biergarten Events

Krause’s Cafe is a historic New Braunfels institution that has been revitalized into a massive biergarten and event hall. It is a hub for local culture, hosting events like Masskrugstemmen (stein holding contests), dachshund races, and regular live music performances. The venue features long, communal tables perfect for large groups, making it a popular destination for birthday parties and corporate happy hours. However, enjoying the extensive selection of German and Texas craft beers requires a responsible transportation plan. Charter Bus Rental Company New Braunfels is your designated driver, ensuring your group can enjoy the Gemütlichkeit responsibly.

Booking a private shuttle to Krause’s allows your group to fully immerse themselves in the experience. We can pick you up from your office, hotel, or neighborhood and drop you right at the entrance on Castell Avenue. If your group is planning a bar crawl, Krause’s is often the perfect starting or ending point, and the drivers can facilitate a custom route to other downtown hotspots like Pour Haus or Downtown Social. Don't risk splitting up the fun or comfort concerns; keep the group together on a private minibus where the laughter can continue between stops.

Krause’s Cafe: 148 S Castell Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130
