McGrath Amphitheatre Nights Are Better When the Bus Handles the Parking
Because McGrath Amphitheatre sits right along the Cedar River on First Street SW, parking fills fast on big show nights — and the surface lots adjacent to the venue are small enough that latecomers end up walking from blocks away. Instead of splitting your group across multiple cars and hunting for a spot before the opener starts, a bus drops everyone right along First Street SW and stages nearby while you enjoy the show. When the encore ends, your group walks out together and boards — no scramble, no carpool coordination, no waiting on a rideshare surge.
That is a concert night done right!
Getting to Paramount Theatre Just Got a Whole Lot Easier for Your Group
When your group is heading to Paramount Theatre (123 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52401) for a show, downtown parking ramps fill quickly on event nights and the one-way streets in the Third Avenue corridor can turn a simple arrival into a frustrating loop. A bus drops your whole group curbside on Third Avenue SE — steps from the entrance — and stages in a nearby surface lot or parking ramp while you are inside. No one splits off to find parking.
No one misses the opener. And when the show is over, everyone meets at the same spot and the night keeps rolling exactly the way you planned it!
For coach access, the Paramount Theatre ground transportation map puts the Ground Transportation Building and Loading Dock on Fourth Avenue, reached by turning from Second Street; bus positions are marked BY REQUEST. Your bus can use that Fourth Avenue approach when the trip calls for the venue's ground-transportation side, keeping the arrival clear and organized.
With Cedarrapidscoachbuscompany.com, Booking a Bus to Des Moines for a Big Show Is Simple
With Cedarrapidscoachbuscompany.com, booking a charter bus from Cedar Rapids to Wells Fargo Arena (730 Third Street, Des Moines, IA 50309) for a major touring concert is one of the easiest decisions your group will make all night! The drive down I-380 and I-80 runs about an hour and a half — and on a charter bus with reclining seats, climate control, and onboard WiFi, that hour and a half goes fast. Instead of coordinating a caravan of cars, paying for downtown Des Moines parking, and figuring out how everyone gets home after a late show, one bus handles every part of the trip.
Compare available vehicles and pricing through Cedarrapidscoachbuscompany.com in under 30 seconds!
It's Easy to Find Concert Buses for Iowa City Shows Too
It's no secret that Cedar Rapids concert-goers make the run down I-380 to Iowa City regularly — whether the show is at Hancher Auditorium (141 Park Road, Iowa City, IA 52242), the Englert Theatre (221 East Washington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240), or a large-scale event at Kinnick Stadium. That 25-mile stretch is short enough to feel like a quick trip but long enough that parking, designated drivers, and getting everyone home become real headaches. A minibus or charter bus from Cedarrapidscoachbuscompany.com solves all three at once — your group rides together, arrives together, and gets home together.

Get Your Group Ready for RIBFEST and Cedar Rapids Festival Season
Get your group to Cedar Rapids festival season without the logistics headache! Events like RIBFEST and the live music nights at NewBo City Market (1100 Third Street SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52401) draw big crowds to compact downtown and near-downtown areas where parking is limited and rideshare pickups get chaotic after the last set. A party bus or minibus from the Cedarrapidscoachbuscompany.com network keeps your whole group together from the first pickup through the final song — and since the bus handles the driving, everyone gets to enjoy the festival the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
Compare available buses and pricing right now at 319-323-7210!

McGrath Amphitheatre sits along First Street SW on the west bank of the Cedar River. Buses drop passengers along First Street SW near the venue entrance and stage in nearby surface lots while the show is underway. No dedicated published charter bus zone appears on the venue's official page, so confirm the current drop-off arrangement with your booking when you finalize the trip.
The venue is operated by the City of Cedar Rapids Parks Department.
It depends on what your group wants! A party bus with LED lighting, a built-in bar, and a premium sound system makes the ride itself part of the celebration — great for bachelorette groups, birthday nights, and any group that wants the energy going from the first pickup. A charter bus is the better call when your group is larger, the trip is longer (like a run to Des Moines), or comfort and luggage space matter more than the party atmosphere. Cedarrapidscoachbuscompany.com lets you compare both side by side!
Book as early as you can — ideally four to six weeks before a local show, and two to three months out for major events like a sold-out McGrath Amphitheatre night or a charter run to a big touring act at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Festival weekends like RIBFEST pull demand across the whole Cedar Rapids market at once. Waiting until the last minute almost always means fewer vehicle options and higher pricing, so locking in early is strongly advised!
