SFShenanigans Host Christmas in August on BART

SFShenanigans is a San Francisco based prankster group inspired by New York’s amazing Improv Everywhere. Last month SFShenanigans had a Reverse Trick-or-Treat Halloween event on BART. Their next event, “Christmas In August” takes place this Sunday, August 26th where they will be signing Christmas carols on BART.

Well, we’ve done Halloween in July, and now it’s time for Christmas in August. And what is more Christmas-y than carols? Singing carols makes the singer happy, and more importantly it makes the listener smile.

The plan is simple: We sing carols carols, in August, aboard BART trains. I’ll provide the song sheet, you provide your voice, we all have fun.

When and where shall we meet?
Sunday, August 26
2:30pm
Powell BART Station, West end of the platform.

I’ll be wearing a Santa hat for easy spotting!
