Caltrain Offers Fabulous Weekend Service To SF Pride Festival

Bay Area residents headed to the 37th annual Pride festival and parade in San Francisco, Saturday, June 23, and Sunday, June 24, can avoid traffic and parking hassles by taking Caltrain into the City.

The celebration events at Civic Center will begin on Saturday at noon, and the first train arrives in San Francisco at approximately 8:30 a.m. and each hour afterward until midnight. The last train leaves the city at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Sunday’s parade will start at 10:30 a.m. at Beale and Market streets, heading west on Market. The first Sunday train arrives in San Francisco at 9:36 a.m., and the last train leaves San Francisco at 9 p.m.

In San Francisco, Caltrain riders can transfer to the Muni Metro across the street from the train station at Fourth and King streets and take Muni to the Civic Center station, less than a block from the festivities.

Caltrain is a proof-of-purchase system, tickets must be purchased before boarding the train, and ticket vending machines are available at stations.
