BART invites you to join us beneath the big Bay Area sky for a family movie night on Saturday, August 16, at Concord Station.
We’re transforming the station parking lot into a camp-themed movie theatre, where we'll screen the beloved film Madagascar once the sun sets and stars emerge. The king of the lemurs likes to “move it move it” almost as much as BART likes to move the Bay Area.
Before that iconic song gets stuck in our heads, BART will be screening never-before-seen footage filmed from a Train Operator’s point of view along all 131 miles of the BART System. The virtual ride offers a sped-up and mesmerizing perspective of the Bay Area from the five BART lines end to end.
While we wait for the sky to darken, attendees can enjoy a series of family-friendly activities, including crafts and lanyard making, face painting, a BART uniform try-on station, photo ops, and Under the Stars stickers and giveaways.
Bring your BART Stamp Passport (or pick one up at the event) to get the Under the Stars stamp. Fill up the pages of your passport to redeem a cool prize. Stamps are available at select BART events.
On Railgoods, you can purchase single tickets (click here) or a discounted family pack of 4 (click here). Your Railgoods receipt will act as your ticket. Everyone must have their own ticket. The price includes admission to the event, a bag of popcorn, a small disposable water, and fruit snacks.
We will be selling tickets at the door (credit/debit/Apple Pay/Google Pay only).
Railgoods will also sell a selection of BART merchandise, including a new BART System Map fleece blanket to be unveiled at the event.
The station parking lot will be covered with turf, but attendees should bring their own low chairs, blankets, pillows, and whatever else they might need to be comfortable for the duration of the screening, expected to be just under two hours. We will have ADA-accessible bathrooms, misters to keep people cool, and hydration stations onsite – bring a water bottle.
BART hosts events throughout the year to encourage people to ride BART and gather with their community. Learn more about fun stuff happening at BART at bart.gov/fun
