Each holiday season, SMART festoons a train with holiday cheer to celebrate the season. The Holiday Express will operate throughout December.
Holiday Toy Drive
On Saturday, December 2, SMART will host a special Toy Drive event on all trains. During the December 2, Toy Drive, each adult passenger who brings a new, unwrapped toy to donate will ride free. Kids accompanied by an adult will also ride free that day. The entire community is invited to bring a toy and enjoy the holiday cheer aboard SMART.
This winter, communities and shopping districts along the rail line will host holiday events celebrating the spirit of the season. Take the SMART train and public transit to visit festively decorated downtown dining and shopping districts in Larkspur, San Rafael, Novato, Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, and Santa Rosa. Take a beautiful stroll or ride a bike along the waterfront in Larkspur or the riverfront in Petaluma. Below are a few of the festivities you can travel to on the train.
