Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for winning their third NBA Championship in four seasons! On Tuesday, June 12, 2018, the Golden State Warriors and the City of Oakland will host a victory celebration starting at 11am. This latest party will be a bit different from years past because there will not be a post-parade rally at Lake Merritt. The Capitol Corridor welcomes all fans who want to travel to Oakland by train to participate in the festivities!

Getting to the Festivities
The parade will begin on Broadway at 11th Street, turning right on 20th Street, turning right on Harrison to 19th Street, then right on Lakeside Drive, ending on Oak and 13th Street. Event details and a parade map can be found here.
To reach the celebration, passengers can take the Capitol Corridor train directly to the Jack London Square Station (2nd & Alice) and walk about 15 minutes to the parade area.
Fans can also take the Capitol Corridor to either the Richmond Station or Oakland Coliseum Station and transfer to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to ride directly to the 19th St. or 12th St. BART stations located along Broadway in downtown Oakland.
