A Travel Guide to Bellevue, Washington's Best Concerts & Events

Experience the Magic of Snowflake Lane at The Bellevue Collection

Every winter, the streets between Bellevue Square, Lincoln Square, and Bellevue Place transform into a winter wonderland known as Snowflake Lane. This nightly parade is one of the Pacific Northwest's most beloved holiday traditions, featuring falling snow, dazzling lights, festive music, and a parade of drummers and dancers. It is a magical experience, but it draws tens of thousands of spectators to a few city blocks, turning downtown parking garages into gridlock zones.

Skip the hours spent circling for a parking spot and book a private shuttle with Charter Bus Bellevue. We can drop your group off right near the action at The Bellevue Collection (575 Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA 98004) before the road closures begin. Your group can enjoy dinner at unparalleled restaurants like Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi or Din Tai Fung, watch the parade, and then be picked up at a designated location away from the post-show traffic jam. A heated minibus with plush seating is the perfect way to warm up after standing in the "snow" on Bellevue Way.

Summer Concerts at Marymoor Park

Just a short drive from downtown Bellevue lies one of the region's best outdoor music venues: Marymoor Park. While technically in Redmond, this venue is a staple for Bellevue residents and visitors alike during the summer concert series. The venue hosts everything from indie rock bands to classic pop legends under the stars. The open-air setting is beautiful, but the parking situation involves long lines on grass lots and a significant walk to the stage.

Turn your concert outing into a tailgating experience with a charter bus rental. Our buses come with ample undercarriage storage, perfect for packing coolers, lawn chairs, and blankets for the show at Marymoor Park (6046 W Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE, Redmond, WA 98052). You can enjoy drinks and music on the bus using our AUX/Bluetooth sound systems while your driver navigates the heavy traffic on SR-520. Once the encore is over, you won’t be stuck in the parking lot exodus; your driver will be ready to whisk you back to Bellevue comfortably.

Elegant Evenings at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery

For a more sophisticated musical experience, nothing beats the Summer Concert Series at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Located in nearby Woodinville, this historic winery hosts top-tier artists in a stunning amphitheater setting. It is the perfect destination for a bachelorette party, a corporate client outing, or a reunion. However, enjoying the winery's famous Rieslings and Chardonnays responsibly requires a designated driver.

Let Charter Bus Bellevue be your DD. We can transport your group from Bellevue to Chateau Ste. Michelle (14111 NE 145th St, Woodinville, WA 98072) in absolute comfort. A private minibus rental ensures that everyone stays together and arrives in style. Enjoy the onboard WiFi to post photos of your picnic spread on the lawn, and relax in reclining seats on the ride home. We can even schedule a stop for dinner in downtown Woodinville before the show starts, creating a seamless itinerary for your evening.

The Bellevue Jazz & Blues Music Series

Every year, the Bellevue Downtown Association hosts the Bellevue Jazz & Blues Music Series, showcasing top national and regional talent. The event takes over various venues across the city, including the Meydenbauer Center theatre and intimate club settings in local hotels and restaurants. For music lovers who want to catch multiple acts in one night, driving and parking at three different locations is a hassle.

Organize a custom shuttle service with Charter Bus Bellevue to hop between venues effortlessly. We can create a route that takes your group from the Meydenbauer Center (11100 NE 6th St, Bellevue, WA 98004) to participating venues like the Bake's Place Bar & Bistro or Cypress Lounge. With a private shuttle, you won't miss a beat (or a set). The drivers know the downtown grid inside and out, ensuring you spend your time listening to music, not looking for street parking on NE 6th Street.

BAM ARTSfair at Bellevue Square

The Bellevue Arts Museum ARTSfair is the largest arts and crafts festival in the Pacific Northwest. Held annually in late July, this massive event takes over Bellevue Square and the surrounding streets, featuring hundreds of artists, craftspeople, and food trucks. It is a fantastic event for browsing and buying, but carrying fragile art pieces back to a car parked six blocks away is risky and exhausting.

When you rent a charter bus for your group's trip to the ARTSfair at the Bellevue Arts Museum (510 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004), you gain a mobile base of operations. You can store your purchases securely in the bus’s overhead bins or luggage bays and head back out to the fair hands-free. This is an excellent option for senior groups or community centers planning a day trip, as our buses can offer ADA-compliant features to ensure accessibility for every member of your group.

Meydenbauer Center Conventions and Performances

The Meydenbauer Center is the heartbeat of Bellevue’s convention and performance scene. From the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra to massive tech conferences and trade shows, this venue draws crowds year-round. If you are an event planner organizing a conference or a school administrator arranging a field trip for a theatre performance, coordinating arrival times for hundreds of people is your biggest challenge.

Charter Bus Bellevue is an expert in convention and large-scale event logistics. We can set up a continuous shuttle loop between the Meydenbauer Center (11100 NE 6th St, Bellevue, WA 98004) and hotels like the Hyatt Regency or the Westin Bellevue. For corporate groups, our buses offer power outlets and tray tables, allowing attendees to prepare for presentations or network while en route. For school groups, our modern fleet provides a comfortable, reliable upgrade from the standard yellow school bus, complete with entertainment systems to keep students occupied.

Wintergrass Music Festival

While often associated with outdoor summer vibes, bluegrass finds a cozy winter home in Bellevue during Wintergrass. This indoor festival takes over the Hyatt Regency Bellevue and features impromptu jam sessions, workshops, and concerts. Musicians travel from all over the country to attend, often hauling bulky instruments like upright basses and banjos.

If you are traveling with a band or a large group of bluegrass enthusiasts, a charter bus rental is the only way to go. We offer vehicles with massive undercarriage storage capacity, ensuring that expensive instruments are transported safely and securely. Your group can travel from the airport or surrounding cities directly to the Hyatt Regency Bellevue (900 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004) without trying to squeeze a cello into a rideshare. Enjoy the camaraderie of the road and get the jam session started early on the bus!
