A Group Travel Guide to Cary, North Carolina's Best Destinations

Koka Booth Amphitheatre

If your group loves live music, outdoor movies, or cultural festivals, a trip to Koka Booth Amphitheatre is an absolute must. Located among 14 acres of stately hardwoods and pines next to Symphony Lake, this venue is renowned for hosting the North Carolina Symphony, major touring acts, and the wildly popular North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival every winter. While the venue is stunning, parking for large events can sometimes involve long walks or coordinated carpooling efforts that fall apart at the last minute.

When you rent a charter bus in Cary for a concert or festival here, your driver can drop your group off near the main entrance, allowing you to skip the long trek from the back of the parking lots. You can bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets (where permitted) and store them easily in the bus’s luggage bays. After a night under the stars enjoying the music, your group can board a pre-warmed (or cooled) bus and head back to your hotel or home safely. It is the ultimate VIP experience for music lovers in the Triangle.

It is a prime destination for senior citizen outings, art appreciation clubs, and student groups interested in the performing arts.
