This winter, radiant icebergs will help light the way between Let's Glow SF show locations. Built by LeMonde Studio, each of the six glowing icebergs comes to life the moment you step up & interact. A quick 20-second burst of human power causes the berg to play the magical sounds of the SF Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC), the world's first openly gay chorus!
