A few of the companies we’ve worked with

The Historic Flag Day Parade & Fireworks

If there is one event that defines Quincy, it is the annual Flag Day Parade. As the longest-running Flag Day parade in the nation, this event draws tens of thousands of spectators to the streets of Quincy every June. The parade route typically marches down Hancock Street, ending near Merrymount Park, featuring marching bands, floats, and local organizations. It is a massive celebration of patriotism and community spirit, usually capped off with a spectacular fireworks display at Pageant Field (1 Merrymount Pkwy, Quincy, MA 02170).

Why Rent a Bus? Parking during the Flag Day festivities is notoriously difficult. Streets are closed off early, and finding a spot for multiple cars is nearly impossible. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Quincy, your group can be dropped off at a designated point near the parade route before the road closures begin. Your driver handles the logistics of parking the bus while you secure the perfect viewing spot on the sidewalk. After the fireworks finale at Pageant Field, you won't have to worry about the post-event gridlock; simply hop onto your climate-controlled bus, recline your seat, and let us navigate the crowds safely.

Summer Concerts at Kilroy Square and The Common

When the weather warms up, Quincy comes alive with music. The city hosts a variety of outdoor concert series that are perfect for senior outings, family reunions, and community groups. Kilroy Square (25 Cottage Ave, Quincy, MA 02169), located right in the heart of downtown, often hosts food truck festivals and live music events that showcase local talent. Additionally, the Hancock-Adams Common serves as a beautiful backdrop for evening performances right in front of City Hall.

For groups planning to attend these open-air events, a minibus rental is the ideal transportation solution. We can pick your group up from a senior center, church, or neighborhood meeting point and transport you directly to the square. There is no need to worry about walking long distances from a parking garage or navigating downtown traffic. Our buses offer ample storage for lawn chairs, picnic baskets, and blankets, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable evening under the stars. With Charter Bus Rental Company Quincy, your summer concert experience starts the moment you board.

Regional Concerts: The Gateway to Xfinity Center & Gillette Stadium

Quincy is strategically located as the perfect launchpad for major concerts south of Boston. Many groups choose to stay in Quincy hotels due to their affordability compared to downtown Boston, and then travel to massive venues like the Xfinity Center (885 S Main St, Mansfield, MA 02048) or Gillette Stadium (1 Patriot Pl, Foxborough, MA 02035). Whether you are heading to see a country megastar in Mansfield or a stadium tour in Foxborough, getting there is half the battle.

Traffic on I-95 and Route 1 on concert days can be grueling. When you rent a party bus or charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Quincy, the traffic becomes part of the pre-game fun. Your group can enjoy an AUX/Bluetooth sound system to play the artist's setlist, socialize with friends, and enjoy a few drinks (if your group is 21+) without the worry of designated drivers. We offer tailgating-friendly buses with undercarriage storage for grills and coolers. Your driver will drop you off as close to the venue as allowed and will be waiting at a designated spot to bring you home safely after the encore.

The Quincy August Moon Festival

Quincy has one of the largest Asian populations in Massachusetts, and the city celebrates this cultural richness with the annual August Moon Festival. Held in downtown Quincy, this event transforms the streets into a bustling marketplace filled with traditional lion dances, cultural performances, arts and crafts, and incredible street food. It is a fantastic educational opportunity for school groups or a fun cultural excursion for private organizations.

Navigating downtown Quincy during this festival can be chaotic due to the sheer volume of attendees. A charter bus rental allows your group to arrive together without the stress of finding multiple parking spots. We can coordinate with event organizers or local authorities to find the safest loading zones near Coddington Street. After a day of tasting mooncakes and watching performances, your group can retreat to the air-conditioned comfort of a modern motorcoach, avoiding the summer heat and the crowded MBTA Red Line.

Holiday Celebrations & The Christmas Parade

As winter sets in, Quincy maintains its festive spirit with the annual Christmas Parade. This tradition brings holiday cheer to Hancock Street with floats, bands, and costumed characters. For church groups, youth organizations, and extended families, attending the parade is a beloved tradition. However, the cold New England weather can make waiting for transportation unpleasant.

With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Quincy, your group has a warm, cozy headquarters. We can shuttle your group to the parade route and provide a warm escape immediately after the festivities conclude. If you are planning a holiday light tour around the South Shore after the parade, the drivers know the best routes to see the displays. We also specialize in corporate holiday party transportation, shuttling employees from Quincy offices to venues like the Marriott Quincy (1000 Marriott Dr, Quincy, MA 02169) or various restaurants in the Marina Bay area, ensuring everyone gets home comfortably after a night of celebration.

Weddings and Private Events at Granite Links

One of the premier event venues in the entire Greater Boston area is located right here in our backyard: Granite Links (100 Quarry Hills Dr, Quincy, MA 02169). Perched atop the Quincy Quarries, this venue offers sweeping views of the Boston skyline and is a top choice for weddings, galas, and corporate retreats. However, getting guests up the winding roads to the top of the hill can be tricky, especially for those unfamiliar with the area or for events involving alcohol.

Charter Bus Rental Company Quincy specializes in wedding shuttle services to Granite Links. We can set up a shuttle loop between the venue and local hotels, ensuring your guests arrive on time for the ceremony and return safely at the end of the night. Our fleet includes sleek, modern buses that fit the elegance of a Granite Links wedding. Amenities like reclining seats, WiFi, and power outlets allow guests to share photos of your big day instantly. Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on the view and the vows.

Student & Corporate Travel to TD Garden and Fenway

While Quincy has its own charm, its proximity to Boston is a major asset. We frequently transport student groups from Quincy Public Schools, as well as local corporate teams, into Boston for major events at TD Garden (100 Legends Way, Boston, MA 02114) or Fenway Park (4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215). Whether it is a Celtics game, a Bruins match, or a summer concert at Fenway, taking a charter bus is significantly easier than trying to coordinate a group on the T.

With a private charter bus, you avoid the crowded Red Line platforms and the unpredictability of public transit schedules. Your driver handles the navigation through the tunnels and the notorious Boston traffic. For corporate outings, this means your team stays together, networking and building morale on the way to the event. For school trips, it means teachers and chaperones can easily keep track of all students in a secure environment. We offer door-to-door service, making your excursion into the city seamless and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Quincy Concert Transportation

How far in advance should we book a bus for the Flag Day Parade?

The Flag Day Parade is one of the busiest days of the year in Quincy. Because demand for transportation is incredibly high during this weekend—not just for the parade but for associated parties and community events—we highly recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Booking early ensures that you get the exact type of vehicle you need and locks in at the best possible rate. If you are planning a last-minute trip, give us a call at 339-888-0340, and we will do our best to accommodate you, but availability cannot be guaranteed close to the date.

Do your buses have storage for tailgating gear for trips to Gillette Stadium?

Absolutely! Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for storing tailgating essentials. You can easily fit coolers, folding chairs, small grills, cornhole boards, and tents underneath the bus. Even our mid-sized minibuses often have rear storage compartments. When you call to book, let your reservation specialist know that you plan to tailgate so we can match you with a bus that has the storage capacity to handle all your gear.

What happens if the concert runs late?

We understand that concerts and sporting events don't always stick to a strict schedule. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Quincy, you are renting the bus for a specific block of time tailored to your itinerary. If you anticipate the event might run over (like extra innings or a long encore), we recommend adding a buffer to your rental time when booking. Your driver will stay with the vehicle and wait for your group. We will ensure you have the driver's contact information so you can communicate any delays. Our goal is to make sure you get home comfortably, no matter when the curtain closes.
