What's Happening in Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids — locals call it The City of Five Seasons — keeps a packed calendar. Signature events like Freedom Festival, Houby Days (Czech Village), NewBo Evolve, Cedar Rapids Kernels games pull crowds from across IA and beyond, and every one of them is better with a group ride. Timing matters here: Freedom Festival (late June/July 4th), Houby Days (October), and Iowa Hawkeye football season are peak..

Beyond the headline events, Cedar Rapids groups rent party buses for birthday bar crawls through Downtown Cedar Rapids and NewBo District, wedding guest shuttles between Alliant Energy PowerHouse and US Cellular Center, and corporate outings that need reliable, professional transport. The common thread: groups that ride together have a better time.
