The Clovis Rodeo: A Tradition Like No Other

There is no event more synonymous with our city than the Clovis Rodeo. Taking place annually during the last weekend of April, this event transforms the city into a celebration of Western heritage, drawing thousands of spectators from across the state. The festivities include a massive parade through Old Town, the crowning of the Rodeo Queen, and, of course, the professional bull riding and roping events at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds (748 Roper Ave, Clovis, CA 93612). Traffic during Rodeo weekend is notoriously heavy, especially around Clovis Avenue and 5th Street. By booking a private charter bus rental, your group can skip the stress of finding a spot in the overcrowded dirt lots. We can drop your group off right near the entrance so you don't have to walk miles in your cowboy boots. Plus, our buses offer plenty of undercarriage storage for your hats, souvenirs, and coolers, ensuring you have everything you need for a full day of rodeo excitement. After the final chute opens and the concert begins, you can enjoy the music knowing your designated driver is waiting to take everyone home comfortably.

Concerts and Shows at the Save Mart Center

While technically located just across the border on the Fresno State campus, the Save Mart Center (2650 E Shaw Ave, Fresno, CA 93710) is the premier destination for Clovis residents seeking world-class entertainment. This massive arena hosts the biggest names in music, from country legends like George Strait to pop icons like Ariana Grande, as well as monster truck rallies and Disney on Ice. Getting a large group to the Save Mart Center can be tricky, as coordinating multiple cars in the paid parking structures often leads to separation and delays. With Charter Bus Rental Company Clovis, your entire party travels together. You can start the pre-show excitement on the road with our onboard sound systems and climate-controlled cabins. We handle the navigation down Highway 168 so you can focus on memorizing the lyrics for the show. Once the encore is over and the parking lots turn into a gridlock, your group can relax in reclining seats while a driver navigates the exit traffic for you.

Outdoor Entertainment at Woodward Park

For those who prefer their music under the stars, the Rotary Amphitheater at Woodward Park (7775 Friant Rd, Fresno, CA 93720) is a must-visit destination located just a short drive from Clovis. This venue hosts the quintessential summer concert series, featuring rock bands, reggae festivals, and jazz performances in a lush, open-air setting. It is the perfect spot for a company picnic or a large family outing. However, the parking line at Woodward Park can back up all the way to Friant Road on busy nights. A charter bus rental eliminates this hassle entirely. We can load up your lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets in the bus's spacious luggage bays and drop you off near the gate. If you are attending a specialized festival like the Grizzly Fest, having a private shuttle means you have a safe, air-conditioned home base to return to. Let us handle the driving while you enjoy the fresh air and live tunes with your favorite people.

Old Town Clovis Farmers Market & Street Fairs

Old Town Clovis is the heart and soul of our community, and it comes alive during the Friday Night Farmers Market (seasonally) and major street fairs like Big Hat Days and ClovisFest. These events take place along Pollasky Avenue (roughly between 3rd St and 8th St, Clovis, CA 93612) and feature hundreds of craft vendors, incredible local food, and live music on every corner. While these events are charming, parking in Old Town is extremely limited and often involves circling residential blocks for thirty minutes or more. When you rent a minibus or sprinter van from Charter Bus Rental Company Clovis, we can drop your group off right at the edge of the action. You can shop for local produce, enjoy the live bands, and watch the hot air balloons launch at ClovisFest without worrying about carrying your purchases back to a distant car. Your drivers know the best loading zones in Old Town to ensure your arrival and departure are seamless and stress-free.

The Big Fresno Fair

Every October, the Central Valley gathers for the Big Fresno Fair (1121 S Chance Ave, Fresno, CA 93702), the fifth-largest fair in California. It is a massive event featuring horse racing, livestock exhibits, carnival rides, and the Paul Paul Theater concert series. For groups traveling from Clovis, the fair is a highlight of the year, but the traffic on Kings Canyon Road can be daunting. A charter bus rental is the ultimate hack for Fair attendance. We can transport your school group, 4-H club, or extended family directly to the designated bus entrance. This is particularly helpful for senior groups or those with mobility issues who want to avoid the long trek from the public parking lots. With a private charter bus, you also have a cool place to rest your feet if the autumn heat kicks in. Enjoy the corn dogs and cinnamon rolls, win a prize on the midway, and let us worry about navigating the crowds on the way home.

Performing Arts at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District

For a more local and intimate cultural experience, the Clovis Veterans Memorial District (808 4th St, Clovis, CA 93612) hosts a variety of events, including community band concerts, patriotic celebrations, and educational seminars. This venue is a hub for the community and a frequent destination for school field trips and senior center outings. Charter Bus Rental Company Clovis works frequently with local organizations to provide accessible transportation to this historic venue. Our fleet includes ADA-compliant buses upon request, ensuring that every member of your group can attend events comfortably. Whether you are attending the Memorial Day concert or a community theater production, we provide door-to-door service that reflects the dignity and respect of the venue. Forget about finding street parking in the busy downtown grid; we will drop you off right at the front steps of the auditorium.

Private Wine & Beer Tours in the Central Valley

While events and concerts are fantastic, sometimes the best event is one you create yourself. Clovis and the surrounding foothills are home to a burgeoning wine and craft beer scene. Gather your friends for a private tour of the Madera Wine Trail or stay local and visit the tasting room at Engelmann Cellars (3275 N Rolinda Ave, Fresno, CA 93723) or the craft brews at 559 Beer (356 Pollasky Ave #100, Clovis, CA 93612). Booking a party bus for a wine or brewery tour is the smartest way to enjoy the region's libations responsibly. Your driver acts as your built-in designated driver, ensuring everyone stays comfortable while traveling between vineyards and taprooms. You can play your own music, enjoy the company of your friends in wraparound seating, and not worry about a thing. We can help you build a custom itinerary that hits all your favorite spots, from the scenic foothills to the heart of Old Town Clovis.
