How to get to the LeatherWalk
Public transit is the best way to get to the parade, according to the BART website. BART and Muni trains will drop off passengers directly on the parade route. BART will be increasing service to carry attendees to and from the celebration.
BART will open at 8:00 a.m. and run five-line service until 8:00 p.m. with special event trains. Riders should expect large crowds at Embarcadero Station before 10:30 a.m. and large crowds all day at Civic Center Station.
Those traveling to the parade from within SF can take SF Muni, which will be re-routing three lines around the Civic Center Plaza.
