Event Transport Across the Northern Rivers
The Northern Rivers knows how to put on a night — the Lismore Lantern Parade, MardiGrass in Nimbin, footy finals, festivals, weddings and everything between. WhiBlu's event transport gets you there and, more importantly, gets you home.
- Pre-booked rides honoured first
- 6-seaters for groups
- However late it goes

The plan
The smart way to do event nights
Parking near a big event is scarce, roads often close, and everyone wants a ride at the same time when it ends. Pre-booking with WhiBlu solves all three: we drop you near the gate, you skip the parking hunt, and your ride home is already locked in before the crowd surges.
- Dropped at the edge — past the closures, a short stroll from the gate.
- Return pickup locked in — a set time and a quieter corner off the main route.
- Coming from out of town — longer runs from Goonellabah, Ballina, Alstonville and Casino, quoted upfront.
Coverage
Events we cover
Sport
Game nights and finals at Oakes Oval and clubs across the region.
Weddings and functions
Guest shuttles between venues and accommodation, so nobody drives after the toasts.
School formals
Safe, trackable transport parents can watch in the app.
Concerts and shows
Lismore City Hall, local clubs and pop-up venues.
MardiGrass, Nimbin
The village fills every May — pre-book early because demand spikes fast.
Nimbin ridesGroups sorted with 6-seaters
Six mates, one 6-seater, one fare. For bigger groups we coordinate multiple vehicles so everyone leaves together — nobody stranded at the barriers waiting for a second car that never comes.
Weddings, formals and hen's nights all work the same way: give us the venues and the timings, and we'll build the run sheet around them.
Getting home
Never drink and drive
If the night includes a few drinks, your ride home should be organised before your first one. We run 24/7, so however late it goes, we're on.
Book the return leg at the same time as the outbound trip and it stops being something you have to think about at midnight.

Questions
Event transport questions, answered
How far ahead should I book event transport?
Days ahead for the big nights. Parade night is the busiest booking night of winter, and pre-booked rides are honoured first — see our Lantern Parade transport guide.
Can you pick us up if roads are closed?
Yes — we drop you near the gate and arrange a pickup point one or two blocks off the route, away from the thickest crowd. Tell us the event when you book and the driver plans around the closures.
Can the whole group travel together?
Six mates, one 6-seater, one fare. For bigger groups we coordinate multiple vehicles so everyone leaves together.
Do you run after midnight?
We run 24/7, so however late it goes, we're on. If the night includes a few drinks, book the ride home before your first one.
Can we book a wedding guest shuttle?
Yes — guest shuttles between venues and accommodation are a regular booking for us. Get in touch and we'll plan the run sheet with you.
