don’t try to park in Fruitvale this weekend. do this instead👇

if you’re pulling up to see the monumental 34-foot La Catrina de Oakland, here is the local cheat code to make the most of your trip:

🌼take BART directly to her feet: fruitvale BART drops you literally steps away from the plaza. tap your Clipper card, walk through the fare gates, and look straight up. Zero gridlock, zero parking stress.
🌼experience the scale in person: photos don’t do this 34-foot hand-crafted masterpiece justice. standing at her base in the heart of Fruitvale Transit Village is something you have to witness firsthand.
🌼come prepared to honor and support: bring framed photos of loved ones or fresh cempasúchil (marigolds) to add to the community altares, and make sure to bring cash for the local food vendors, pan de muerto, and artisan pop-ups.

send this to your group chat so everyone comes prepared💫
