SweaterFest is back!  

On Saturday, Dec. 7, we invite you to rock your BART ugly sweater (and other BART holiday merch) and toast the season for a jubilant community celebration in the plaza at Rockridge Station.  

What to expect: Live music, family friendly activities, photo opps, and cookies! We’ll take a group photo of everyone in their sweaters during the event at 2:30pm.  

What: SweaterFest ‘24 

When: Saturday, Dec. 7, 1pm to 4pm 

Where: Rockridge Station Plaza 

More than 6,000 people are proud owners of a BART holiday sweater, and we want to gather as many of you as possible. The event is free and open to everyone – even those of you who don’t own a BART holiday sweater (what gives?!). Got a sweater from a previous year? Wear it! 

The 2024 holiday sweater will be available for purchase at the event, along with the suite of additional 2024 BART holiday merch: sweater vests, beanies, scarves.  

You can also preorder holiday merch on Railgoods.com and at checkout, select the option to pick up your items at SweaterFest. We are anticipating a long line to buy merch at the event.
