What's Happening in Newport Beach

Newport Beach โ€” locals call it California's Riviera โ€” keeps a packed calendar. Signature events like Newport Beach Film Festival, Christmas Boat Parade, Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival pull crowds from across CA and beyond, and every one of them is better with a group ride. Timing matters here: Christmas Boat Parade (Dec), summer season, and Film Festival (Apr) are peak..

Beyond the headline events, Newport Beach groups rent party buses for birthday bar crawls through Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island, wedding guest shuttles between Fashion Island and Balboa Fun Zone, and corporate outings that need reliable, professional transport. The common thread: groups that ride together have a better time.
