This will also be the first year since the pandemic that volunteers are being recruited to help install the Pink Triangle. "s the shiny pink fringe blows in the wind the reflective surface will lightly reflect and sparkle over San Francisco."Ĭarney shared that Burning Man camp Velvet Cabal will be assisting with installing the poles, cables, and LED lights. "It should be dragalicious," added Carney. To achieve that goal, Carney said that over 6,300 feet of bright, shiny pink streamers will be hung in rows below each of the 43 rows of LED light strands. "The goal this year is to have both a daytime and a nighttime presence for the entire month of June," said Carney. | Photo: Steven Bracco/HoodlineĪs you may recall, the Pink Triangle was illuminated throughout Pride Month last year and for three weeks in 2020. The Pink Triangle has been lit up for Pride Month the past two years (2020). Carney said that Illuminate - the organization behind the Bay Lights, the Conservatory of Flowers' projection mapping display, the "Hope Will Never Be Silent" neon installation honoring Harvey Milk on the SoulCycle building, and other projects - will again install 2,700 LED nodes of pink lights on the triangle. Patrick Carney, co-founder of the Pink Triangle, made the announcement earlier this month.

With Pride Month just two weeks away, San Francisco's official Pride Parade is set to return for the first time in three years after a pandemic-induced hiatus. But this time, it will be more vibrant in the daytime as well. For the third year in a row, the Pink Triangle atop Twin Peaks will once again be lit up like a giant gay beacon throughout Pride Month.
