Children’s Easter 2026
Children’s Easter takes place on the east side of the park’s north field near 18th and Dolores and begins at 10:00 am. The Easter Bunny welcomes parents and little ones for family-friendly fun, including an Easter egg hunt, photos with the Easter Bunny, plus games and activities.
Main Stage 2026
Beginning at Noon, the main stage celebration brings Dolores Park to life with live entertainment, drag artists, and Sisterly mischief. Hosted by Sister Roma, Peaches Christ, and Honey Mahogany, the show features performances from a lineup of Bay Area entertainers and special guests.
Hunky Jesus, Foxy Mary, and Bonnet Contests 2026
As always, all are invited to enter the Hunky Jesus, Foxy Mary, and Easter Bonnet contests.
When contests are announced from the stage, contestants should line up backstage near the tennis courts where contestant wranglers will greet them. Due to time constraints, contestants will go through a brief pre-screening process, and finalists will be invited onstage where the audience decides the winner of each contest.
Pro Tip: Well-conceived, clever characterizations or concepts for Foxy Mary and Hunky Jesus always get the best response. Due to time constraints, groups are discouraged, and there will be a pre-screening of all contestants. Finalists will be invited onstage for the audience to decide the winner of each contest.
Producing Easter in the Park is possible each year because of the dedication of dozens of volunteers. This year, with the help of their technology partner, Do Good Stuff, the Sisters have deployed a shiny new volunteer management platform to organize and activate their dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers. Anyone can help the Sisters out and sign up to volunteer at Easter in the Park.
