When Beau’s Brewery hosted its 8th annual Oktoberfest in the charming but remote town of Vankleek Hill, accessibility posed a significant challenge. With limited parking and narrow roads, attendees needed a reliable and efficient transportation solution. Bus.com stepped in to provide customized bus routes, roundtrip transportation from key cities, and complimentary shuttles for local attendees. The result? 4,550 happy passengers, smooth logistics, and an Oktoberfest to remember!
September 2016 marked the 8th edition of Beau’s annual Oktoberfest – a two-day extravaganza showcasing the best of Bavarian culture and an impressive selection of craft beer and indie music. For that event, Beau’s Brewery needed great bus service.
Beau’s Oktoberfest is held in Vankleek Hill, a tiny town with few parking spots and not a lot roads which limits its accessibility. Still, buses are a great way to allow the event to grow without major issues that often come with popular events and drinking.
Working together, we divided a plan to provide roundtrip transportation for Oktoberfest attendees. That plan also included free shuttles traveling between the parking plaza and the fairgrounds for guests who came with their own vehicles. That way we made sure everyone could get on site easily.
Not only did Beau’s have access to customer support all throughout their planning, our team also volunteered at departure points to help check passengers in on the day of the event.
Beau’s itinerary was not so simple. It required multiple departure times and locations, not to mention routes looping around – all of which were accommodated with our logistics expertise.
We work with vetted bus companies who put passengers first. This proved to be true in Beau’s case as bus drivers were all very considerate and drove everybody back home safe and sound.
In total, we moved 4,550 people and ran 130 bus trips from Montreal, Ottawa, and Cornwall. Organizing bus transportation to an event isn’t always the easiest of feats, but we were able to make the entire process a lot smoother. With laughter and fun in the mix, Beau’s was left with a winning combination!
