San Francisco’s annual Chinese New Year Parade will take place on Saturday, February 15, starting at 5:15pm. 2025 is the Year of the Snake, which represents wisdom, intuition, and transformation! For the first time ever, the parade will close out with a choreographed drone light that will illuminate the sky over the Embarcadero at approx. 8pm.
The Chinese New Year Parade is the largest illuminated night parade in the country, and thousands of people will gather along Market Street to celebrate. Transit is the best way to get there.
Montgomery Station is the closest BART station to the start of the parade, at Market and 2nd streets. Embarcadero and Powell St. stations are also close to the parade route. Follow the rider guide above for reference.
The BARTmobile will be zooming along the parade route along with a cohort of BART staff and their families, who will be wearing BART's 2025 Lunar New Year shirt. The shirts are available for purchase in adult, youth, and toddler sizes on Railgoods.com, as well as special BARTy x Year of the Snake stickers.
