Naga & The Captainess is a 100-foot-long, 25-foot-tall sculpture of a sea serpent made of over 5,000 scales, placed in Rainbow Falls Pond at Golden Gate Park. This installation represents the largest public art project in the park's history. Created by local artists and supported by community efforts, Naga is part of a larger immersive experience promising interactive features. Two celebratory public events are planned for late July 2025, with the project relying on a budget of $400,000, most of which has already been raised.
Naga & The Captainess is a 100-foot-long, 25-foot-tall glowing sea serpent made of over 5,000 shimmering scales, installed at Golden Gate Park's Rainbow Falls Pond.
The installation aims to create an immersive experience, including a shipwreck seating area, interactive treasure chests, and a watery street mural that encourages connection and play.
Local artists collaborated with Illuminate and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to bring Naga to life, with over 250 volunteers contributing to the project.
Two public events to celebrate Naga's installation are scheduled for July 26 and July 28, 2025, marking its grand introduction to the community.
