This year's pink triangle installation on San Francisco's Twin Peaks will sparkle both day and night with the addition of more than 1 1/2 miles of sparkling streamers, organizers said.
The pink triangle project was started in 1996 by Patrick Carney, who worked with volunteers to create the pink canvas triangle over Pride weekend. In 2020, the arts nonprofit Illuminate partnered with Carney to light the triangle with 2,700 pink LED lights, and in 2021 Illuminate extended the triangle's run to all of June.
The triangle lighting will be preceded by The Pink Torch Procession, which starts just before noon at Oakland City Hall. The procession will work its way across the bay, with the help of more than 50"LGBTQ heroes" on the way to Twin Peaks for the lighting ceremony. The torchbearers will be guided by San Francisco Dykes on Bikes, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and SF Cheer. Additional support will come from"Rosie," a hot pink VW bus with rainbow interior and"Pride" . "I've been involved in this growing tradition since it started three years ago," Schaaf said."It's poignant, beautiful, emotional, zany and important - all rolled into one."© 2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc.
