On the morning of June 17, 400 volunteers gathered atop Twin Peaks to install an acre-wide neon pink triangle 925 feet above San Francisco. Volunteers staked out the shape of the triangle display and then installed the pink border made up of 220-foot-long pieces of bright pink sailcloth at each edge of the triangle. The main installation includes 175 pink mesh tarps, held down by 5,000 12-foot-long steel spikes. The pink triangle on the hillside overlooking The Castro began in 1995 as an attempt to add color to the Pride Parade from The City’s second-highest peak. Ceremony founder Patrick Carney said, “It (began as) a small renegade crafts project which went up in the dark of night so we wouldn’t get arrested."
