A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Britt Music & Arts Festival in Jacksonville
Just a short, scenic drive west of Medford lies the historic town of Jacksonville, home to the premier outdoor music venue in the Pacific Northwest: the Britt Pavilion. The Britt Music & Arts Festival (350 S 1st St, Jacksonville, OR 97530) is a summer staple for locals and visitors alike, running from June through September. The venue is naturally carved into a hillside estate, offering incredible acoustics and a breathtaking backdrop of ponderosa pines and madrones. The lineup is always diverse, featuring everything from classical orchestra performances and pop legends to country stars and indie rock bands.
Parking in the small, historic town of Jacksonville can be notoriously difficult during concert season. The narrow streets fill up hours before showtime, often forcing attendees to park miles away and hike up the hill. By booking a shuttle bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Medford, your group can bypass the parking struggle entirely. Your driver can drop your group off near the entrance, allowing you to stake out your spot on the lawn, set up your picnic blankets, and enjoy the pre-concert atmosphere without the stress. After the encore, your bus will be waiting to transport you safely back to your hotel in Medford or your next destination. With plenty of storage on our buses, you can easily bring along your coolers, lawn chairs, and picnic baskets.
Catch a Show at the Craterian Theater at The Collier Center
Located right in the heart of downtown Medford, the Craterian Theater at The Collier Center for the Performing Arts (23 S Central Ave, Medford, OR 97501) is the crown jewel of the city's cultural scene. This beautifully renovated historic theater hosts a wide array of events throughout the year, including Broadway musicals, ballet performances, comedy shows, and concerts by renowned touring artists. Its intimate setting ensures there isn't a bad seat in the house, making it a favorite destination for arts lovers in the Rogue Valley.
If you are organizing a school field trip to see a play, a senior citizen group outing for a matinee, or a corporate evening out, a charter bus rental is the most efficient way to travel. Downtown Medford parking can be hit-or-miss, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when local restaurants are busy. With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Medford, your driver can provide curbside service right on Central Avenue. Your group can step off the bus and walk straight into the lobby, avoiding the need to feed meters or navigate parking garages. Plus, after the show, you can easily head to a nearby restaurant like Porters or Common Block Brewing without needing to move multiple vehicles.
Rock Out at the Bi-Mart Amphitheater at the Expo
When the biggest names in country, rock, and pop come to Southern Oregon, they usually head to the Bi-Mart Amphitheater located at the Jackson County Expo (1 Peninger Rd, Central Point, OR 97502). This massive outdoor venue hosts the region's largest events, including the Rogue Music Fest and the Jackson County Fair concerts. The energy here is electric, with thousands of fans gathering under the open sky to sing along to their favorite hits. It is the ultimate summer concert experience for large groups looking to let loose and have a great time.
However, with big crowds comes big traffic. Exiting the Expo parking lot after a sold-out show can sometimes take over an hour if you are in a personal vehicle. When you rent a charter bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Medford, you elevate your concert experience significantly. We can arrange for drop-off and pick-up logistics that keep your group together. Furthermore, our buses are perfect for the pre-game atmosphere! You can enjoy music over the bus’s sound system, enjoy air-conditioned comfort while waiting for the gates to open, and utilize the onboard restroom on larger models to avoid the long lines at the venue. Let us be your designated driver so everyone in your party can enjoy the festivities responsibly.
World-Class Theater at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
While technically located in neighboring Ashland, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (15 S Pioneer St, Ashland, OR 97520) is a massive draw for anyone staying in Medford. Just a 20-minute drive down I-5, this Tony Award-winning regional theater company offers a repertory season of plays that includes Shakespearean classics, modern musicals, and world premieres. The campus features three unique theatres, including the outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre, which is a bucket-list experience for theater enthusiasts. Groups from Medford schools, universities, and tour groups frequently make the pilgrimage to Ashland for these world-class productions.
Ashland is a pedestrian-friendly town, but parking near Lithia Park and the theaters is extremely limited and strictly enforced. A charter bus rental from Medford is the ideal solution for large groups attending a play. Your driver can drop your group off near the downtown plaza, giving you time to explore the shops, grab dinner at a creekside restaurant, or catch the free "Green Show" before the main event. At Charter Bus Rental Company Medford, we have extensive experience coordinating shuttles between Medford hotels and the OSF campus, ensuring your group arrives with plenty of time to find their seats before the curtain rises.
Local Vibes at The Rocky Tonk Saloon & The Holly Theatre
For those looking for a more gritty, local music experience, Medford offers venues that pack a punch. The Rocky Tonk Saloon (333 E Main St, Medford, OR 97501) is the go-to spot for country music fans, featuring live bands, line dancing, and a high-energy atmosphere. It is a fantastic destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties or birthday celebrations. Additionally, the historic Holly Theatre, currently undergoing restoration efforts to return as a premier concert venue, promises to bring even more entertainment to downtown Medford in the near future.
If you are planning a night out at a venue like the Rocky Tonk Saloon, safety and convenience are paramount. Alcohol is often part of the fun at these venues, and coordinating rideshares for a group of 20 or 30 people is a logistical nightmare (and often results in surge pricing). By booking a minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Medford, you ensure that everyone has a safe ride home at the end of the night. Your driver serves as the ultimate designated driver, allowing your group to dance the night away without worrying about how they will get back to their accommodations. Keep the party going on the bus with LED lights and your favorite playlist hooked up to our auxiliary ports!
Annual Festivals: Pear Blossom & Southern Oregon BrewFest
Medford is famous for its agricultural heritage, and the city knows how to celebrate it. The annual Pear Blossom Festival, held every April, is a massive community event featuring a parade, street fair, and the Pear Blossom Run. Later in the year, the Southern Oregon BrewFest at the Jackson County Expo showcases the region's incredible craft beer scene, drawing breweries and cideries from all over the Pacific Northwest. These events transform the city and attract thousands of visitors.
Navigating road closures for parades or finding parking during a popular festival can be stressful for group leaders. Whether you are transporting a marching band for the Pear Blossom Parade or a group of beer enthusiasts for BrewFest, Charter Bus Rental Company Medford has the vehicle for you. Our large charter buses come equipped with ample undercarriage storage, perfect for storing musical instruments, parade gear, or purchases from the street fair. For BrewFest attendees, a private shuttle ensures that no one has to get behind the wheel after sampling the best IPAs and stouts the region has to offer. We can set up a custom shuttle schedule to run back and forth between the festival grounds and your group's hotel.
Wine Country Concerts & Private Event Transport
The Rogue Valley is an emerging wine destination, and many local vineyards host intimate concert series and private events throughout the warmer months. Venues like EdenVale Winery (2310 Voorhies Rd, Medford, OR 97501) and 2Hawk Vineyard & Winery (2335 N Phoenix Rd, Medford, OR 97504) offer stunning views, delicious wines, and live music ranging from jazz to acoustic rock. These events are perfect for corporate retreats, wedding rehearsal dinners, or just a relaxing Sunday afternoon with a large group of friends.
Don't let the winding country roads or the wine tasting deter you from bringing a group. Charter Bus Rental Company Medford specializes in wine tours and event transportation in the Rogue Valley. The drivers are familiar with the local geography and can navigate the rural roads with ease while you relax in a reclining seat and enjoy the view of the vineyards. We can help you create a custom itinerary that hits multiple wineries for tastings before ending at a venue for a sunset concert. With features like panoramic windows and climate control, the ride between wineries is just as enjoyable as the destination itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medford Concert Transportation
How far in advance should I book my charter bus for a Medford concert?
We generally recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event details confirmed. For major events like the Country Crossings Music Festival (Rogue Music Fest) or peak summer concert dates at the Britt Pavilion, availability can become limited quickly. Ideally, you should aim to book 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure you get the vehicle type you want at the best possible price. However, we know last-minute plans happen, and we will always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests based on fleet availability.
What is the difference between a minibus and a charter bus?
The main differences are size and amenities. A minibus is perfect for smaller groups, typically seating between 18 and 35 passengers. It is great for short trips, shuttle services, and navigating tighter city streets or winery roads. A full-size charter bus seats up to 56 passengers and is designed for longer distances or larger groups. Charter buses come with more amenities, including an onboard restroom, extensive undercarriage luggage storage, and often more legroom. Both vehicle types usually feature air conditioning and can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets.
What happens if our concert runs late?
When you book with us, you provide an itinerary with scheduled pick-up and drop-off times. However, we understand that concerts and festivals don't always run exactly on time. The drivers understand the nature of live events. If you anticipate the event running significantly over, please communicate with your driver. While there is usually some flexibility, significant overages in time may result in additional hourly charges if the bus is kept longer than the contracted time. We always recommend padding your itinerary by an extra hour to account for encores and traffic to avoid any stress!
