KFOG KaBoom! 2008 Transit
15th Annual KFOG KaBoom Bands | Tickets | Where To Go What To Do | Fun Facts
Check back here as we get closer to the event for updated transit information. KFOG KaBoom! is located at Piers 30/32 on the Embarcadero at Brannan, just north of AT&T Park. Click here for a map of the area. Last year's KFOG KaBoom! attracted over 350,000 spectators to the San Francisco Waterfront. And this year, the San Francisco Giants take on the Philadelphia Phillies at AT&T Park, 1:05pm first pitch. With such a large crowd expected and EXTREMELY limited parking in the area, we strongly encourage Fogheads to take BART, SF MUNI, AC Transit, Caltrain and other public transportation to Piers 30/32. Check below for schedules and info. No matter where you are for the fireworks, make sure you bring a radio and tune it to KFOG 104.5 FM for the fireworks soundtrack!
