Your parking-to-parade map
Explore the parade corridor, 500 Grand, station parking and numbered parade destinations. Select a place for details and directions. Train positions are estimates, not GPS.
Gold marker: 500 Grand parking. Violet markers: places and connections. Venue markers do not establish a confirmed after-party. The dashed violet line is an approximate Embarcadero parade corridor, not surveyed route geometry, a closure boundary or accessible entrance guide. Toggle station parking on the map: amber marks the five limited stations; green means parking is listed, not that spaces are available.
Parade start
Take BART to Embarcadero or Montgomery, then walk toward the Ferry Building. Ferries also arrive near the start.
Directions to the start ↗Parade finish
Second & King is the finish area. From Powell, transfer at Union Square to Muni T Third toward Sunnydale, exit at Fourth & King and walk.
Official rider guide ↗Where BART recommends parking
Published Fall 2026 guidance—not live availability. BART advises against parade-day parking at Glen Park, MacArthur, Rockridge, Walnut Creek and West Oakland because spaces can fill early. 500 Grand is a separate privately operated lot; its availability must be confirmed.
