• Set in San Francisco’s renowned historic shopping district, this fun-filled day is packed with free events, children’s activities, live entertainment, delicious food and the ever popular Easter Bonnet Contest. Look for appearances from the Easter Bunny, as well as an interactive show by The Radio Disney Road Crew. Proudly boasting the nickname, “The Biggest Little Parade in San Francisco,” the Union Street Easter Parade is a fabulous procession showcasing all that is wonderful, unique, wacky and elegant about the San Francisco Bay Area. Beginning at 2 p.m. at the corner of Gough Street and Union Street, nearly 50 parade contingents with hundreds of enthusiastic participants will make their way down the five blocks of Union Street to Fillmore Street. Over the years, this wildly colorful parade has seen everything from vintage cars, roller blading cows and sophisticated fashion to innovative floats and costumed characters.  YOU can join in the parade for free as well! 
  

The one-of-a-kind Easter Bonnet Contest invites all children, adults, and even pets to sport their most zany, elegant or outrageous Easter hats for a chance to win prizes. Categories include Best in Show, Best Couple, Best Family, Best Pet, Best Children, Best Merchant, Most Elegant, Largest Hat, Most Comical, and Most Creative. Judging takes place from 11:15am -1:30pm at the Information Booth at Buchanan and Union and the winners will be announced at the conclusion of the parade on the main stage at 3:15pm.
