Who are the Sisters?

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.

Pink Saturday: In the Pink Download as iCal file
Saturday, June 23, 2012, 05:00pm - 11:00pm

Starting at 5pm, Sisters bring the party to the streets by closing them to cars and buses and then pumping multiple sound stages with music (see list below for locations and type of music played) to create the largest nighttime street party in San Francisco.

New this year will be food trucks along Market Street where the Dyke March will once again finish its parade from Dolores Park.

So come and party until 11pm, go to bed, get some shut eye so you can do it all again Sunday at the Pride Parade downtown.

Please be aware that the street fair will not allow open consumption of alcohol or permit containers of any kind within the footprint.
