As our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our North Bay community, SMART is celebrating with a free community festival.  We hope you can join us at SMART Fest, on Saturday, August 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at our Novato Hamilton Station.  We’re also offering free train service on August 18 & 19 to help get you to and from the festival, so you can relax without the hassle of traffic and parking. We’ve got live music and some of the North Bay’s best food trucks. And we have a slate of more than 30 vendors, including our transit partners, local community groups, and our advertisers.  You can check out our full line up here: https://sonomamarintrain.org/SMARTfest
