What's Happening in New Braunfels
New Braunfels โ locals call it The Comal City โ keeps a packed calendar. Signature events like Wurstfest (10-day German festival), Gruene Music & Wine Festival, Wassailfest, Comal County Fair pull crowds from across TX and beyond, and every one of them is better with a group ride. Timing matters here: Summer river tubing season (MayโSeptember) is the primary driver; Wurstfest (November) is the single biggest event..
Beyond the headline events, New Braunfels groups rent party buses for birthday bar crawls through Downtown/Main Plaza and Gruene Historic District, wedding guest shuttles between Gruene Hall (oldest dance hall in Texas) and Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and corporate outings that need reliable, professional transport. The common thread: groups that ride together have a better time.
