A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Experience the Vibrant Tet Festival in Little Saigon

Without a doubt, the crown jewel of events in Westminster is the annual Tet Festival, celebrating the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. Westminster is home to one of the largest Vietnamese populations outside of Vietnam, centered in the Little Saigon district. This three-day festival draws tens of thousands of visitors who come to enjoy traditional food, firecrackers, live music, and cultural processions. The event usually takes place at the OC Fair & Event Center (88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) or local parks depending on the year's organization, bringing the community together in a spectacular display of heritage.

Getting a large group to the Tet Festival can be a logistical nightmare due to road closures and heavy pedestrian traffic. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Westminster, we can coordinate drop-off points that get you close to the entrance without the headache of navigating the gridlock yourself. Your group can store souvenirs, heavy coats, or festival purchases in the overhead bins or undercarriage storage of the bus. Whether you are a school group coming to learn about the culture, a family reunion, or a community organization, a private shuttle ensures everyone arrives together and ready to celebrate the New Year.

Catch Big Names at the Honda Center

Just a short drive from Westminster via the SR-22 East lies one of Southern California's premier indoor arenas: the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806). While it is famous for being the home of the Anaheim Ducks, this venue is also a major stop for international touring artists, from Ariana Grande to the Eagles. For residents of Westminster, this is the go-to spot for arena-sized entertainment. However, parking fees here can be steep, and the exit rush after a sold-out concert can add an hour to your night.

Charter Bus Westminster provides the ultimate VIP experience for concert-goers heading to the Honda Center. Why split your group into five different cars when you can keep the pre-game energy alive on a party bus or charter bus? With amenities like premium sound systems, AUX/Bluetooth capabilities, and LED lighting, the concert starts the moment you step onboard. Your driver will handle the stress of the Katella Avenue traffic, dropping you off curbside. After the encore, you won’t have to wander through a sea of cars; your driver will be waiting at a designated pickup location to whisk you back to Westminster comfortably.

Live Music at The Observatory in Santa Ana

For music lovers who prefer a more intimate, standing-room-only vibe, The Observatory (3503 S Harbor Blvd, Santa Ana, CA 92704) is the place to be. Located just minutes from the Westminster border, this venue hosts everything from rising indie bands and hip-hop legends to cover bands and alternative rock staples. The venue is known for its incredible sound quality and close-up experiences with artists. However, parking at The Observatory is notoriously limited and often involves stacking cars, which can make leaving early or late a hassle.

A minibus rental from Charter Bus Westminster is the perfect solution for groups heading to The Observatory. A 20- or 25-passenger minibus can easily navigate the tighter surface streets of Santa Ana and Harbor Boulevard. By booking a private shuttle, you ensure that no one in your group has to worry about being the designated driver after enjoying drinks at the venue’s bar. We offer comfortable, reliable, late-night pickups so your group can enjoy the show to the very last chord. With comfortable, reclining seats, your group can rest their legs on the ride home after a long night of dancing.

Theater and Arts at the Rose Center Theater

You don't have to leave Westminster city limits to find high-quality performing arts. The Rose Center Theater (14140 All American Way, Westminster, CA 92683) is a local treasure, offering Broadway-style musicals, plays, and symphony concerts right in the heart of the Civic Center. It is a fantastic destination for senior center outings, school field trips, and local theater enthusiasts. The venue is modern, comfortable, and hosts a variety of culturally diverse performances that reflect the Westminster community.

Charter Bus Westminster specializes in transportation for senior groups and schools visiting local gems like the Rose Center. Our ADA-compliant bus rentals ensure that every member of your group, regardless of mobility challenges, can travel with dignity and comfort. We can arrange for door-to-door service, picking your group up at a community center or school and dropping them off right at the theater entrance. There is no need for your group to walk long distances or navigate busy parking lots. Enjoy a matinee performance of a classic musical and let us handle the driving.

Rock Out at the House of Blues Anaheim

Located at the Anaheim GardenWalk, the House of Blues Anaheim (400 Disney Way #337, Anaheim, CA 92802) offers a unique blend of Southern-inspired cuisine and live music. It’s an excellent venue for bachelor or bachelorette parties, corporate outings, or birthday celebrations starting in Westminster. The venue features multiple stages, including the main music hall and the intimate Parish room, hosting everything from rock and blues to gospel brunches.

Make your night out at the House of Blues unforgettable by booking a party bus with Charter Bus Westminster. Start the evening with a pickup in Westminster, enjoy some music and drinks onboard, and arrive at the GardenWalk ready for dinner and a show. The House of Blues is surrounded by other attractions and nightlife, making it a great anchor for a full night out. With a private charter bus, you can even build a custom itinerary—perhaps drinks in Westminster, the show in Anaheim, and a late-night stop for food before heading home. You set the schedule, and your drivers make it happen.

Summer Concerts in the Park at Westminster Civic Center

During the summer months, the Westminster Civic Center (8200 Westminster Blvd., Westminster, CA 92683) comes alive with the city’s annual Summer Concert Series. These free, family-friendly events feature tribute bands, local food trucks, and a wonderful community atmosphere. It’s a popular gathering spot for local neighborhoods, youth groups, and company picnics.

If you are organizing a large group outing for a Summer Concert in the Park—perhaps a church group or a company team-building event—a shuttle bus rental is the best way to keep everyone together. Parking around the Civic Center can get congested quickly on event nights. A charter bus allows your group to arrive simultaneously, making it easier to stake out a prime spot on the grass for your picnic blankets and chairs. Plus, with the storage bays available on our coaches, you can easily transport coolers, folding chairs, and picnic supplies without cluttering the passenger cabin.

Easy Access to Angel Stadium for Concerts and Games

While primarily known for baseball, Angel Stadium of Anaheim (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806) is also a massive venue for stadium-sized concerts and events like Supercross. Located just a short hop from Westminster via the SR-57, it draws huge crowds. Whether you are heading there to cheer on the Angels or to see a legendary rock band, the traffic getting into the "Big A" parking lot is legendary in its own right.

For the ultimate tailgate experience, rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Westminster. We can transport your fan club or group of friends directly to the stadium. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage for grills, tents, coolers, and cornhole sets. Your driver stays with the bus, ensuring your belongings are secure while you head inside to enjoy the event. After the game or concert, you can bypass the frustration of locating your car in a massive lot and waiting in exit lines. Relax in air-conditioned comfort while your driver navigates the post-event traffic for you.

Do your buses have storage for tailgating gear?

Absolutely! Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays perfect for coolers, folding chairs, tents, and even grills for your tailgate party at Angel Stadium or the Honda Center. Smaller vehicles, like minibuses and sprinter vans, have more limited storage, so be sure to discuss your equipment needs with our team when you book to ensure we match you with the right vehicle.

How far in advance should I book my bus for a concert?

We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event details confirmed. For major events in Westminster and the surrounding Orange County area, such as the Tet Festival or a sold-out concert at the Honda Center, buses can book up quickly. Ideally, try to reserve your vehicle at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, we also do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.

Is there parking available for the bus at the venues?

Most major venues like Angel Stadium and the Honda Center have designated parking areas for charter buses and oversized vehicles, usually for an additional fee. Smaller venues like the Rose Center Theater or The Observatory may have more limited options. Your drivers navigate Westminster and can drop your group off at the entrance and park off-site if venue parking is unavailable.
