Concert season peaks in spring and fall. The Griffins' hockey season runs October through April. Check the arena's event calendar for upcoming shows. ### Group Travel Tips Charter buses drop off directly on Monroe Ave NW adjacent to the arena entrance. Holiday Coach regularly transports fan groups from across West Michigan to Van Andel Arena events. Coordinate a pre-show dinner on Monroe Center or Fulton Street for a complete Grand Rapids group night out. ## Charter Bus Transportation to Van Andel Arena from Across Michigan For groups traveling to Van Andel Arena from anywhere in Michigan, Holiday Coach Company is the premier choice for charter bus transportation. Whether your group is coming from Holland, Muskegon, Kalamazoo, Lansing, or even the Upper Peninsula, our professionally driven motorcoaches eliminate every logistical headache associated with concert night travel. Parking in downtown Grand Rapids on show nights is notoriously scarce and expensive — surface lots fill within hours of doors opening, and the surrounding streets become gridlocked post-show. With a Holiday Coach charter bus, your entire group travels together, arrives together, and departs together — stress-free. Your driver handles the route, the parking, and the post-show navigation while your group focuses entirely on enjoying the evening. ## The Van Andel Arena Experience: What to Expect on Show Night Van Andel Arena is widely praised by touring artists and their production teams as one of the finest mid-sized arenas in the country. The facility features excellent sightlines from virtually every seat, a state-of-the-art sound system, and a well-organized concourse that makes navigating the venue intuitive and enjoyable. The arena's bowl design ensures that even upper-level seats feel close to the stage, creating an immersive concert atmosphere that fans consistently rate among the best in Michigan. The arena's location in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids places it within a short walk of dozens of outstanding restaurants, breweries, cocktail bars, and entertainment options — making a Van Andel Arena show the natural anchor for a complete evening out in one of the Midwest's most celebrated food and drink cities. ## Pre-Show Dining and Entertainment in Downtown Grand Rapids Downtown Grand Rapids offers an exceptional array of pre-show dining options within walking distance or a short drive from Van Andel Arena. The Monroe Center corridor features everything from upscale steakhouses to casual gastro-pubs, while the Fulton Street area and Bridge Street NW neighborhood offer nationally recognized independent restaurants and some of Michigan's most celebrated craft breweries. Grand Rapids is known throughout the country as "Beer City USA" — a title earned by the extraordinary concentration of world-class craft breweries within the urban core. Founders Brewing, Brewery Vivant, Broad Leaf Local Beer, and dozens of others are all minutes from the arena. For groups that want to make an entire evening of the experience, Holiday Coach recommends arriving in Grand Rapids 2–3 hours before showtime to enjoy dinner and drinks before the main event. Our drivers are flexible with pickup and drop-off timing to accommodate pre-show plans. ## Why Michigan Groups Choose Holiday Coach for Van Andel Arena Holiday Coach Company has been transporting groups across Michigan for decades, and Van Andel Arena is one of our most frequently requested destinations. Our clients include corporate groups, birthday party groups, bachelorette parties, church groups, and music fans of every age who want to experience the best live entertainment West Michigan has to offer without the hassle of driving and parking. Our fleet includes full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, 40-passenger mini-coaches, 25-passenger and 35-passenger buses, and executive Sprinter vans — ensuring we have the right vehicle for every group size. All of our vehicles are equipped with climate control, comfortable seating, and USB charging, making the ride to and from the show just as enjoyable as the event itself. With our professional, CDL-licensed drivers at the wheel, your group can enjoy the full concert experience — including post-show beverages at one of Grand Rapids's legendary bars — without anyone serving as the designated driver.
