Market Street officially lit up with the world's largest pride flag from the Ferry Building to Twin Peaks Friday night.
Illuminate, the nonprofit arts group behind the Bay Lights, slowly blasted each laser down Market Street over 90 minutes after a formal kickoff. The vibrant celebration started with a DJ and colorful dancers on stilts and roller skates. 12-year-old San Francisco resident Rowan Stephanian was among the crowd.
"San Francisco has been getting a bad rap lately but for those of you who live here, those of you who walk the streets of San Francisco you can tell another story, you can talk about the story of San Francisco based on your own experience, based on love, based on acceptance, based on bringing people together," she said.
Mattern says she reached out to Illuminate and is adamant that they directly credit her for the Pride display.
