Caltrain roars into San Francisco for KFOG Kaboom Celebration

Peninsula residents can take advantage of extra train service to accommodate riders going to San Francisco for the 13th annual KFOG KaBoom celebration on Saturday, May 12, from 4 p.m. – 10 p.m. Caltrain will add capacity to its northbound trains departing San Jose, between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., to accommodate extra crowds headed to the event.

From the San Francisco Caltrain Station at Fourth and King streets, passengers can board the outbound Muni T-Third line and take a short trip to Brannan Street. The entrance to the KaBoom celebration will be right across the street on Piers 30/32.

This year’s KaBoom will feature a range of performances for children and adults on several stages, as well as food, vendors and of course the legendary fireworks display at the end of the evening.

Following the fireworks, Caltrain will operate three special trains in addition to its regular service. The first special will depart San Francisco at 10:20 p.m. and express to San Carlos before making all remaining local weekend stops to the San Jose Diridon station. The second and third special service trains will depart San Francisco at 10:30 p.m. and 10:40 p.m., and make all local weekend stops to San Jose Diridon. Caltrain's last Saturday train from San Francisco departs at 12:01 a.m., making all local weekend stops.
