Things to do in San Francisco - Let's Glow SF #UrbanTrekUSATips #SanFrancisco

Things to do in San Francisco - Let's Glow SF kicked off Dec. 2, 2022. It is "America's largest holiday projection mapping festival." This year is the second time for this event in San Francisco. The projection installations will be running until Dec. 11, 2002 from 5:00 - 10:00 pm. I highly recommend it if you will be visiting the downtown area. 

Click here for more information and list of artists with bios.

There are 5 locations and this is the order I recommend to see them:

1. Mechanics Monument Plaza (Market & Battery)

2. 1 Bush Street (Best to watch from across the street at 525 Market St)

3. Hobart Building (Market & Montgomery)

4. Pacific Stock Exchange Building (Pine & Sansome)

5. Station J (222 Leidesdorff)

When you end at Station J, you will be within walking distance to Chinatown, Jackson Square and North Beach where you have a whole lot of choice to eat or get some cocktails.
