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 (Mayโ€“September) 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.

Did You Know?

What's the best way to plan a multi-stop party bus route?

Map out your stops in geographic order to minimize drive time between venues. Share the itinerary with your driver in advance so they can plan parking and timing. Limit stops to 3โ€“4 for a 4-hour rental โ€” too many stops eat into your party time. Your driver is a great local resource for route advice.
