SF’s “Hunky Jesus” Contest & Easter Festival
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the kabuki-inspired cross-dressing nuns-of-fun, host their 37th Easter Sunday in the Park at Hellman Hollow in Golden Gate Park.
There’s a family-friendly Children’s Easter celebration at 11 am, but the real fun follows after the kids head home with adult-friendly fare like the Easter Bonnet Contest, burlesque, a trashcan marching band, everyone’s favorite blasphemous hoot, and of course the Foxy Mary and the Hunky Jesus contests.
The Sisters 37th Anniversary Easter Party
Sunday, March 27, 2016 | 11 am to 4 pm
Hellman Hollow (formerly Speedway Meadow), Golden Gate Park
JFK Drive near 26th Ave.
FREEThe 2016 celebration will, once again, be held at the fabulous and very spacious Hellman Hollow in beautiful Golden Gate Park. They even have a back up space in the park in the event of rain but, they are cautiously optimistic it will be a fabulous day.
The Sisters are thrilled to have co-emcees Kit Tapata, Mutha Chucka and Cruzin D’Loo. The Easter Bonnet, Foxy Mary & Hunky Jesus contests will be hosted, traditionally, by Sisters Roma & Dana and some of the Sisters and Saints are going to be selling “Saint & Sinner” raffles from until 3 pm on Easter Sunday, where you will get a chance to help them crown this year’s Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary on stage. Not only does it help us put on this fabulous event, you get a shot at being a part of one of the most controversial and talked about contests in the country.
