WALKING TOUR EXCUSE
The Seaport has a display of 28-foot structures that resemble flowers in the daytime, and light up like fireworks at night. There are 10 of them scattered around Pier 17. The dandelions are steel and acrylic and designed by artist Abram Santa Cruz and LA-based art collective Liquid PXL. Electric Dandelions was first created at Lucidity Music Festival in 2016, and the sculptures have made tour stops at Burning Man, the Toronto Light Festival and Jerusalem Festival of Light.
