Event: Santa Monica's Glow Festival








This past Saturday night and Sunday morning, Santa Monica had its annual Glow Festival. Called the Glow Festival Dust till Dawn, the event literally took place from 7:00pm to 7:00am the next morning.

The Santa Monica city website says that last Saturday's Glow festival was inspired by the Nuit Blanche ("White Night") festival in Paris, but the combination of beach, pier, and experimental music made it pure L.A. Over 200,000 people attended over the dusk-to-dawn, 12-hour extravaganza, with over 75,000 milling through the warm night at peak times to gaze at illuminated sculpture and installations, a "grunion run" remade in glow sticks in the sand, and pulsing light shows.
