Every year, on Easter Sunday, there is an event called โBring Your Own Big Wheelโ where people race down a street with many twists and turns in a โbig wheelโ. A big wheel in this case can be anything with wheels, but more often than not, is supposed to be for children: a Barbie jeep, a tricycle, etc.
The event is fun, chaotic, whimsical, silly, and really feels like the epitome of San Francisco energy. People dress up in bold/whacky outfits, sometimes even costumes, so you can usually tell who is attending.
I spotted this family about a block away walking in the direction of the event. From mismatching suit to the frog purse, they looked just fabulous. I automatically assumed they were attending the event, until I forgot that it was also Easter. They very well could have been on their way to a Brunch or even a Religious Service. In my mind, they did all three.
This photo to me captures the essence of San Francisco and the duality of that beautiful, colorful day.
