San Francisco, CA: Northern California Chapter, Holiday Lights Walk

Bundle up and join us for a cozy early-evening walk through Let’s Glow SF, the city’s dazzling winter projection art festival where building facades are transformed into towering, animated artworks with high-tech projection mapping. Grab a hot cocoa or other warm drink from the Ferry Building and meet us out front to begin our short and easy stroll together. On this Caminito de Luz, we’ll take in eight glowing installations throughout downtown, ending at the foot of the Transamerica Building with a radiant show celebrating the evolution of the city.

Schedule: Meet us at 5:30 PM at the north end of the SF Ferry Building, next to Gott’s Roadside restaurant. BYO hot drink or arrive early and grab one at a cafe inside (Blue Bottle, Red Bay). We expect to finish up at the Transamerica Building by 7:30 PM and then walk back to the Montgomery Street BART/Muni Station on Market Street.

Level of Difficulty: This is an easy walk and open to all! Total mileage is about 2.5 miles. Entirely city sidewalks and virtually flat (total elevation gain of 60 feet).
