Photos: Magic, merriment, and holiday cheer with a transit twist at SweaterFest '24
A sea of BART holiday sweaters swarmed the plaza at Rockridge Station for BART’s SweaterFest ‘24 this past Saturday.
Joy was in abundance as hundreds of people descended upon the station to celebrate the season with a BART twist. And it wasn’t just humans who came to party with the Bay’s biggest transit fans – a spirited snowman, an energetic gingerbread man, and even Chewbacca made appearances.
Charlie Barreda & Friends played holiday jams for the crowd and Full Belly Bakery served delicious desserts as attendees bought their BART holiday merch from Railgoods and explored the myriad activities stationed around the plaza.
BART fans young and old crafted wreaths with old paper tickets, took photos in front of a BART holiday wonderland backdrop, got a fresh stamp for their BART Stamp Passports, and wrote odes to BART at the poetry booth.

There’s still time to buy a sweater, scarf, and beanie (the sweater vests are sold out). Head to Railgoods.com to get your BART holiday swag!

Bay Fair Station: Accessibility Improvements- 2023/2024
UPDATE December 29, 2023
The next phase of work at Bay Fair will start on January 15th and will last 4 weeks. During construction, all pedestrian detours will be accessible. Construction will take place in two locations (see map below):
- In the passenger loading zone, the accessible loading zone will be replaced and the regular pathway to the passenger loading zone will be blocked by fencing. To get to the passenger loading walk through the bus area, towards Bus Bay C1. A temporary crosswalk will be provided from there to the passenger loading zone.
- On the pathway towards the Bayfair Center. A segment of sidewalk will be replaced between the station and the first crosswalk. A pedestrian detour will be provided from the station elevator, across a small parking area, and around a landscaped area to connect to the existing crosswalk.
No construction will take place in the bus area during this phase.
