Twinkling Man: A Bike Parade of Illuminated Excess, hosted by Bike Party Santa Cruz

* Friday December 12 * 7PM * Depot Park

Forget the desert—this year, the playa is paved! Join us for Twinkling Man, the shimmering celebration of music, lights, laughter, and questionable fashion and/or life choices.

What to Expect:
* Radiant Rides: Cover your trusty steed in every LED, fairy light, and glow stick you can find. If your bike doesn’t look like a mobile interstellar nebula, you’re doing it wrong.

* Festival Finery: Dress in your most extravagant, ironic, or “I found this in a thrift store that I broke into at 3 a.m. and all I had was a black light”outfit. Think faux fur, sequins, and goggles that serve no practical purpose whatsoever. 

Ride with us deep into the asphalt playa, where we’ll cruise the esplanade, visit art installations (people’s houses decorated for the holidays), and dance the night away.

Cause, do you even Twinkle, bro?

Friday, 12/12, 7 pm meet at Depot Park
