In San Francisco, even the most traditional holidays come with a wink.
For many, Easter means pastels, egg hunts and maybe a church brunch. But for us here in the city, it's all about satirical drag nuns, sexy Jesuses and adults hurling down a giant hill on tricycles.
😎 That's whywe love it. Here's what's happening this weekend.
Saturday
🐣 Easter egg hunts: This one is for the kids. Expect the usual family-friendly activities and maybe even a visit from the Easter Bunny.
Bayfront Park: 9am at 16th St & Terry A. Francois Blvd.
Sunday
👒 Easter Bonnet Parade: This self-described "curated afternoon of of style, civility and presence" invites you to come dressed in your most whimsical, avant-garde or unapologetically bold headwear.
11am-2pm at Washington Square Park.
🌈 Hunky Jesus & Foxy Mary contest: This year's theme for this unquestionably serious Easter celebration is "Love Thy Neighbor," focused on what connects us and not what sets us apart.
Join The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — our irreverent order of queer nuns — from 10am- 4pm at Dolores Park.
🛞 Bring Your Own Big Wheel: This wonderfully weird tradition stems back to 2000 on Lombard Street, but was later moved to its present racing location on Vermont Street in Potrero Hill.
Located at Vermont & 20th streets. Kids race begins at 2pm, but it's the adults who you really don't want to miss from 3- 5pm. Register here to participate.
