What's Happening in Somerville

Somerville โ€” locals call it The Paris of New England โ€” keeps a packed calendar. Signature events like HONK! Festival of Activist Street Bands, SomerStreets open-streets events, Fluff Festival, Porchfest pull crowds from across MA and beyond, and every one of them is better with a group ride. Peak weekends and holiday dates fill fast โ€” early booking guarantees the best selection.

Beyond the headline events, Somerville groups rent party buses for birthday bar crawls through Davis Square and Union Square, wedding guest shuttles between Assembly Row and ONCE Somerville, and corporate outings that need reliable, professional transport. The common thread: groups that ride together have a better time.

Did You Know?

How far in advance should you book for prom?

For prom, you should book your limousine or party bus at least 6โ€“8 weeks in advance โ€” ideally as soon as you know your date. Prom season (Aprilโ€“June) is the busiest time of year for limo companies, and popular vehicles sell out months ahead. Early birds get the best selection and pricing.

Did You Know?

What insurance should a party bus company carry?

At minimum, a party bus company should carry $1.5 million to $5 million in commercial auto liability insurance (depending on vehicle capacity), plus general liability and workers' compensation. Always ask for a Certificate of Insurance before booking. Uninsured operators put your entire group at risk.
