The Belmont Stakes weekend in early June is Elmont's single biggest annual event — the third leg of the Triple Crown, held at Belmont Park (2150 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont, NY 11003), draws upward of 60,000 fans on race day. The roads around the park — Hempstead Turnpike, Plainfield Avenue, and Dutch Broadway — see severe congestion beginning hours before post time, and parking on the grounds fills completely. A private charter bus drops your group at the designated commercial vehicle zone, skips the lot scramble, and waits nearby for the post-race pickup while everyone else fights for a cab.
Beyond Belmont Stakes weekend, groups use private buses for family reunions at Nickerson Beach (880 Lido Blvd, Lido Beach, NY 11561), church retreats, graduation celebrations, and summer festival weekends. One flat rate, one vehicle, everyone together. Call 332-230-9090 for a private event quote — and for Belmont Stakes weekend, book at least three months out.
