San Francisco’s Hunky Jesus Contest to Happen Rain or Shine
San Francisco’s Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary Contest hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will take place Sunday, no matter rain or shine, as a storm passes over the region this weekend. The National Weather Service Bay Area meteorologist Rachel Kennedy predicts that rain will fall in San Francisco early Sunday morning, followed by isolated showers throughout the day. The storm could also significantly deepen California's snowpack, which could supply millions of Californians and farms with water as it melts. The worst of the rain is expected to occur on Friday and Saturday, with a potential nuisance flooding, but no rivers are likely to overflow. The organizers of the event, which includes the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, suggest that attendees should bring umbrellas, coverings, and something to put on the ground to prevent from getting wet. If it rains too much, the event will be postponed and held on a smaller scale at a local bar.

What’s the current San Francisco weather forecast for this weekend?
At this point, meteorologists expect rain to fall in the early morning hours Sunday with isolated showers the rest of the day, said National Weather Service Bay Area meteorologist Rachel Kennedy, potentially allowing Hunky Jesus lovers to enjoy clear skies and a soggy lawn to party on.
The storm could also help deepen the state’s snowpack, supplying millions of Californians and farms with water as it melts. Jump to more information about California’s snowpack.
“People on Sunday are lucking out, because it looks like the worst of it will be on Friday and Saturday,” Kennedy said.
San Francisco also just got even luckier thanks to a midweek storm that pushed the city to 111% of the yearly average rainfall it receives, Kennedy said. Most of the Bay Area is also in a similar situation, receiving between 90% and 100% of the average rainfall.
This storm could drop up to 1 1/2 inches of rain and produce up to 40 mph gusts across the Bay Area. On Friday and Saturday, there’s also a chance of nuisance flooding throughout the region, but Kennedy said rivers aren’t likely to overflow.
What if it rains hard on Easter Sunday in San Francisco?
If the clouds burst open Sunday and the event can’t happen because it’s raining too hard, Dissett said the organization will postpone the event and hold it on a smaller scale at a local bar the coming weekend. You can follow event updates online on Facebook and Instagram.
Whether it rains or not, Dissett recommends that people attending bring umbrellas, coverings to congregate under and something to put on the ground to keep from getting wet.
Parking in the neighborhood around Dolores Park is limited, so the organization suggests walking, biking or using public transportation to get to the event. The organizers do offer ADA parking, which can be obtained by calling (415) 506-9848 or emailing [email protected].
Who are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is an “order of queer and trans nuns who believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty,” according to their site. They first appeared in San Francisco in 1979 on Easter Sunday. This year marks the organization’s 45th anniversary.
