Fans can start lining up for the rally as early as 5:00 a.m. at Lakeshore and 12th St.

However, access to the rally will be closed when the area reaches maximum capacity. At this point fans have the option to watch from a viewing area at Lake Merritt Blvd. and 12th St.

Here’s a full map of the parade route.

Officials say the best way to get to the parade and rally is by using public transportation. In fact, BART released some celebration day tips:

  1. Be patient, it’s going to get crowded; our busiest hours in 2015 were 8am-10am
  2. Use 19th Street Station, avoid the much smaller Lake Merritt Station
  3. Buy a Clipper card (clippercard.com) in advance to avoid extremely long lines at ticket machines
  4. Look for tables with cash only $15 Clipper card sales at 10 of our busiest stations
  5. Parking will be packed; think about taking the bus or walking to BART or getting dropped off
  6. “Permit” spaces in parking lots are for permit holders only, a citation will ruin the fun day
  7. When boarding trains, move to the center of the car so more can fit, remove backpacks
  8. Don’t jam a train door- it will take the whole train out of service and everyone will boo you
  9. Some trains may not stop at Lake Merritt if the Rally Zone has reached capacity or crowding
  10. Our service will not match the published schedule so listen and pay attention
