Hop on BART and head to Oakland this June for the agency\u2019s all-ages \u201880s meets under-the-sea themed dance party, which will be held in the Rockridge Station parking lot.<\/p>\n

After the popularity of Bay Area Rapid Transit\u2019s May the 4th and Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a> events, which typically sell out the same day tickets go on sale, the agency just announced it\u2019s transforming the Rockridge Station parking lot on June 6 into BART Prom: Enchantment Under the C Line<\/a>, an all-ages 1980s-themed dance party with under-the-sea flair.<\/p>\n

\u201cBART Prom is a playful way to celebrate transit as a community space. Events like this tap into the joy and connection that public transit can create,\u201d Michelle Robertson, BART\u2019s principal marketing representative, told the Chronicle<\/a>. \u201cOur events generate enthusiasm for the system, build ridership and encourage people to ride for fun, all while reminding our community that BART is more than a commute \u2014 it\u2019s part of the cultural life of the Bay Area.\u201d <\/p>\n

The event will feature a live band and DJ, as well as a BART prom court, which will be crowned during the event. For a chance to be on the court and win your very own BART-themed crown, post your BART \u201cpromposal\u201d on social media and tag the agency by May 31.<\/p>\n

Three finalists will be selected, and the public will pick a winner via Instagram. So keep an eye out for various fun and creative promposals in the coming month.<\/p>\n

The event page says BART chose the 1980s theme because the decade was a pinnacle time for the agency \u2014 when ridership numbers were high, service was expanded, and the original train cars were still new. <\/p>\n

Attendees are asked to wear themed prom attire that\u2019s under-the-sea, 1980s, or any era \u2014 as long as it’s appropriate for all age groups. <\/p>\n

The $15 entry fee includes unlimited punch, a BART boutonniere or corsage, and a printed prom photo keepsake. <\/p>\n
