San Francisco’s favorite drag nuns, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, are back for their fabulously fun Easter Celebration. Celebrity guest emcee Honey Mahogany will officiate an amazing celebration that includes a children’s Easter egg hunt and more activities from 10 am-12 pm, followed by a series of contests from 12-4 pm, including the Foxy Mary contest, the Easter Bonnet contest, and the highly-anticipated Hunky Jesus contest.
This is the 45th annual Sisters’ Easter celebration, and it’s sure to be absolutely unforgettable with the theme “Peep Show.” Emcee Honey Mahogany will host the festivities alongside performers Kat Robichaud, Sister Phyliss, House of Pack, The Mabuhay Bitches, and Sugar Bear.
The children’s celebration from 10 am-12 pm will include an Easter egg hunt story time and an Easter bunny appearance. After the morning festivities, the day tends to be more adult-oriented, but rest assured, the Sisters prohibit profanity and nudity.
The main event is from 12 pm-4 pm, in which contestants can strut their stuff in their Easter Bonnets or as Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary. Contestants need simply arrive in their Sunday best (read: hunkiest and foxiest Biblical costumes) and line up backstage for an initial screening. The crowd favorite Hunky Jesus Contest will be at 3 pm. The park is usually absolutely packed with people celebrating, so expect big crowds for the Sunday event.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a self-proclaimed “21st century Order of Nuns” and nonprofit organization dedicated to the community. They have been in action since 1979, when they first appeared in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, and haven’t stopped since! Over the decades, the Sisters have raised millions of dollars for various local community causes.
