- For the first time in two years, a bevy of in-person Easter Sunday celebrations are happening across San Francisco today. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will (at long last) return to Dolores Park from noon to 4 p.m. today for the Foxy Mary and Hunky Jesus competitions; both in-person and virtual worship sessions are scheduled at SF places of worship today; plastic easter eggs were sprinkled around Mountain Lake Park for young humans to find and keep whatever's inside; no doubt parklets and indoor seating come brunch time will be hard to find around the city.

GET YOUR EASTER BONNETS READY! Easter is almost here! The rules are very simple: BE CREATIVE! Everyone is welcomed to join - just show up behind the stage 30 minutes before the contests! (Easter Bonnet contestants should be there at 1:30pm - Foxy Mary & Hunky Jesus at 2:30pm). pic.twitter.com/5hgYa31ZSc
