Celebrate the OC Line and Swallows Day on March 23 at ARTIC

Mark your calendars for this Saturday, March 23 for a festive, food-filled morning at the Anaheim Regional Intermodal Center (also known as ARTIC and Anaheim Station). We’re celebrating two great events – the 25th anniversary of the Metrolink OC Line and the annual return of the swallows to San Juan Capistrano. The first 100 people at the ARTIC event will ride the train for free.

For many riders, the OC Line is their vital link to work, fun, and weekend adventures. Over the decades, annual boardings on Metrolink’s Orange County Line have grown to more than 2.8 million. To say thanks for your continued ridership, our ARTIC event will feature breakfast tacos from Wahoo’s and individual desserts from Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Also on March 23, San Juan Capistrano will welcome the swallows with a parade and Mercado Street Faire, a fun event just off the main parade route where the whole family can eat, dance, play, and shop. The Metrolink station is an easy stroll away.

Come join us at 8:30 a.m. at ARTIC. Learn more here
