The Bay Lights Anniversary Re-Lighting & Illuminated Bike Ride

The Bay Lights turns one this March! After a full year of the piece illuminating the SF waterfront, Illuminate the Arts is leading an effort to keep it on the bridge and lit for at least 10 more years.

Thursday March 6, 2014 will mark the exact one-year anniversary of the piece. At 7:00pm, the piece will go dark for 10 minutes. Artist Leo Villareal will lead a countdown to the re-lighting at Market Bar in the San Francisco Ferry Building. The event at Market Bar is free and open to the public, but if you would prefer to listen in from another vantage point, KFOG-FM 104.5 will broadcast the event and a special 20-minute Bay Lights soundtrack.

March 7th: Bay Lights Illuminate your Ride

Then, on Friday, March 7, we’ll light up the streets again in collaboration with the SF Bicycle Coalition and SF Bike Party, who will host an illuminated bike ride around the city with stops for dancing and merrymaking. The evening will kick off on the Embarcadero at 7:30PM in front of the “Cupid’s Span” bow-and-arrow sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.

First up, we’ll hear from Ben Davis, the visionary behind the Bay Lights concept, and pay tribute to the artist Leo Villareal and the brilliant community that made it possible. At 8PM, volunteers from SF Bike Party will lead the group on a fun and safe ride through the city with stops to dance and socialize along the way. It’ll be a great night to show off your illuminated bike or costume!
