Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
Once upon a time, Adolf Sutro’s grand statue “The Triumph of Light” stood at the Victorian geographic center of San Francisco known as Mount Olympus. The statue, like most of Sutro’s collection, has long since disappeared, but on Obscura Day, her memory will be celebrated with snacks and stories.
The plan is simple: for those who make the trek up to the top of Mt. Olympus there will be juice and homemade cookies. The monument on the hill is gone, but the column is stood on is still there with pretty amazing views.
Getting there: There’s a staircase leading to Upper Terrace from the corner of 17th and Clayton in Ashbury Heights in SF. The last intersection you’ll pass before heading up the street is Clifford Terrace.
Obscura Day is an international celebration of unusual places taking place around the world on April 9, 2011. It is sponsored by Atlas Obscura, a guide to the world’s wonders, curiosities, and esoterica.
