Due to heavy traffic congestion expected near Discovery Park, SacRT is providing supplemental bus service for the GoldenSky Festival on Friday, October 18 – Sunday, October 20, 2024.  

Buses will travel between the 8th & K bus stop in downtown Sacramento, to and from the stop located in front of the ARCO gas station on Jibboom Street (near Discovery Park).  

GETTING THERE BY LIGHTRAIL   

• For your convenience, SacRT has 53 light rail stations and 22 park-and-ride lots in a 43-mile service area.  

• SacRT recommends parking at one of our key light rail stations for better customer service (Sunrise, Watt/Manlove, Franklin or Roseville Road)  

• Light rail trains operate every 15 minutes (except for Folsom stations) during peak hours, and every 30 minutes during off-peak times. Click here for light rail schedules or visit sacrt.com.  

DOWNTOWN LIGHT RAIL ARRIVAL STATIONS  
(remember to look at the train head-sign for the correct direction of travel)  

• Passengers riding to downtown on the Blue Line from Citrus Heights/Roseville should exit the train at the 10 & K Station and walk to the 8th & K Bus Stop to board the bus to the GoldenSky Festival (look for GoldenSky signage identifying the stop). Note: Swanston Station is closed. 

• Passengers riding to downtown on the Blue Line from south Sacramento/Elk Grove should exit the train at the 9th & K Station and walk to the 8th & K Bus Stop to board the bus to the GoldenSky Festival (look for GoldenSky signage identifying the stop).  

• Passengers riding to downtown on the Gold Line from Folsom/Rancho Cordova should exit the train at the 8th & K Station and walk across the street to the 8th & K Bus Stop to board the bus to the GoldenSky Festival (look for GoldenSky signage identifying the stop). Note: Historic Folsom to Iron Point light rail is closed, shuttle buses in place.  

Remember, light rail trains operate on one-way streets in downtown, so you will need to board return trains in a different location than where you exited.  

DOWNTOWN LIGHT RAIL DEPARTURE STATIONS (return trip back)  

• GoldenSky attendees taking transit back from the event will need to board buses at the same bus stop location as the drop off.  

• Passengers needing to travel back toward Citrus Heights/Roseville should exit the bus at the 8th & K Bus Stop and walk to the 9th & K Station to board a Blue Line train back to the destination station (look for the train headsign that reads “Watt/I-80”).  

• Passengers needing to travel back toward south Sacramento/Elk Grove should exit the bus at the 7th & Capitol Bus Stop and walk to the 7th & Capitol Station then board a Blue Line train back to the destination station (look for the train headsign that reads “Cosumnes River College or CRC”).  

• Passengers needing to travel back toward Rancho Cordova/Folsom stations should exit the bus at the 7th & Capitol Bus Stop and walk to the 7th & Capitol Station then board a Gold Line train back to the destination station (look for the train headsign that reads “Sunrise or Folsom”).
