   My favorite week of the year. Watching the walls go up day by day is the best part.

   Surreal is real.

   Has anyone done the trolley tour? Wondering if it's worth it versus just walking.

   Biking the districts is a great way to see them, you cover a lot more ground.

   Car-free since last year.

   A guided tour is worth it if you go with someone who knows the art history behind the pieces. You get context you would never get just wandering on your own.

   Surreal is real.

   Walking is totally doable but the murals are spread across neighborhoods that are a hike from each other. Depends on how much time you have and how comfortable you are in the heat.

   Honestly for SHINE specifically I would just bike it. You can park yourself in front of a live painting for as long as you want and not feel rushed by a tour schedule.

   Car-free since last year.

   The energy during SHINE is unlike anything else in this city. Even just walking around with no plan you stumble onto something incredible every few blocks.

    I always make sure to walk my dogs through the neighborhoods during SHINE. The artists are usually out working and most of them are happy to chat for a minute if you stop.

    Been watching this festival grow over the years and it just keeps getting better. 2027 feels far away but I will be there regardless, same as always.
