A night at The Anthem or the Kennedy Center is easy to enjoy and hard to park, so groups ride a charter bus in from Alexandria instead. Both sit in some of the busiest blocks in the District, where waterfront garages fill early and the post-show exit drags. Your bus is waiting at the curb when the encore ends.
For a concert, a show, or a group night out, Charter Bus Alexandria can handle the ride. Call 703-705-7785 or get a free 30-second quote to lock it in.
How Far Are They From Alexandria?
Both venues are about 20 minutes from Old Town Alexandria. The Anthem sits on the Southwest Waterfront at The Wharf, and the Kennedy Center is just north in Foggy Bottom along the Potomac. Event-night traffic and scarce parking are exactly what a group wants to skip.

Why Take A Bus Instead Of Driving Or Rideshares
A few reasons groups choose DC concert group transportation for a night out:
- Parking. Waterfront garages near The Wharf and the Kennedy Center are limited and pricey on event nights. One bus means no parking math.
- Staying together. Rideshares split your group and surge after the show. A bus keeps everyone on one schedule, there and back.
- A simpler night. Your group is dropped at the door and picked up at a set spot, so no one is circling for a garage or working the crowd for a ride.
Drop-Off, Pickup, And Logistics
The Wharf and Foggy Bottom are dense, so your bus drops the group close to the entrance and then stages nearby during the show rather than parking on the street. Afterward, you’ll have a set pickup point so the group gathers in one place instead of scattering along the waterfront. Lock in a firm post-show meeting time and spot before you head in.
Which Bus Is Right For Your Night Out
We match the vehicle to your headcount, and you can compare them all on our buses page:
- Sprinter van or sprinter limo (up to about 14): a small group or a special-occasion night.
- Minibus (15 to 35): the common choice for a birthday, a club, or a group of friends.
- Charter bus (50 to 56): a large group or a corporate outing.
- Party bus: keeps the energy up on the ride in and out.
Larger coaches can include WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and luggage space.
| Vehicle | Seats | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van or limo | Up to ~14 | Small groups, special occasions |
| Minibus | 15 to 35 | Birthdays, clubs, friend groups |
| Charter bus | 50 to 56 | Large groups, corporate outings |
| Party bus | Varies | Celebrations and group nights out |
