This May the Fourth, BART invites the public on an epic journey through a galaxy far, far away.
On Sunday, May 4, BART will transform a train into a special starship to set the scene for an epic 90-minute ride in celebration of May the Fourth. Bring friends or travel solo. Either way, you’ll leave with an alliance of like-minded pals.
Travelers should dress in apparel fitting for a May the Fourth celebration (please leave the blasters on your home planets). Prizes will be awarded to the best costumes. The admiral of our ship will look kindly on you for incorporating BART into your outfit. You can also expect live music, competitions, trivia, May the 4th decor, and plenty of surprises.
The voyage itinerary: We will depart MacArthur Spaceport at 4pm and make the jump into hyperspace to reach Pittsburg/Bay Point, a space station on the Outer Rim of our system. Our ship will then turn around and make its way back to MacArthur Spaceport with an estimated arrival time of 5:30pm. Pre-boarding will start at 3pm.
Our ship will make no stops for the duration of the 90-minute ride, so attendees should eat and use the restroom before departure. Artificial gravity will be provided for passenger comfort.
Space on our vehicle is limited, and reservations are required via Eventbrite. There is no cost to attend other than paying your BART fare.
When: Sunday, May 4, 2025, 4pm to 5:30pm
Check-in opens at 3pm. Arrive no later than 3:30pm.
Where: MacArthur Station
Why: May the 4th be with you
RSVP: Reserve your spot on Eventbrite – bartmaythefourth.eventbrite.com
The e-ticket you receive from Eventbrite is NOT your BART fare. Every participant must have a Clipper card. Make sure you have at least $7.10 (BART’s excursion fare) on the card.
BART is experimenting with hosting events on trains, including the sold-out Valentraine speed dating mixer in February, as a way to engage our community, foster connections, and encourage riding BART. Transit connects us to places, but can also connect us to each other. Learn more about fun stuff happening at BART at bart.gov/fun.
Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
