A 100 Foot Sea Snake Is Taking Over Golden Gate Park!

A gigantic sea snake is coming to Golden Gate Park. The largest public art installation ever installed at Golden Gate Park, a 100-foot-long, 25-foot-tall sea snake is coming to Rainbow Falls Pond at JFK Promenade. The artists who created it, whose names I'll probably butcher, so I've put them below in the caption instead of trying to say them, have been working with the Recreation and Parks Department and the nonprofit art company Illuminate to bring it to San Francisco. They originally created the piece for Burning Man in 2024. The serpent blows bubbles, it lights up at night, so you could see it both during the day and at night, and it's made up of thousands of handmade metal scales. It looks really, really cool. I definitely want to see this in person. There's also going to be structural shipwrecks that will serve as seating. There's going to be street art, and there's going to be interactive treasure chests. There's a public unveiling Saturday, July 26th, at 10 AM, and the official lighting ceremony is going to be on Monday, July 28th, at 7:30 PM. The project cost several hundred thousand dollars, all paid through crowdfunding, which is pretty cool. Let me know what you think in the comments.
