Schedule

Inbound buses run beginning 90 minutes before showtime until 30 minutes after the performance begins. For example, for a 7:30 pm show, buses bring passengers to Chautauqua from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. For our Family Concert, inbound buses run from 9:00 am until 11 am. Buses arrive approximately every 15-20 minutes.

Outbound buses depart from the east side of Chautauqua Auditorium. Buses will return until everyone has been picked up. However, if you are riding the bus, make your way to the outbound pick-up location immediately after the concert.
