The Parade<\/h1>\n

\"Easter<\/p>\n

The NYC Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival is an annual tradition stretching back decades.<\/p>\n

Head out to 5th Avenue between 49th and 57th on Sunday, April 1st to see a wide array of amazing, self designed bonnets and floats. While most of the show will take place around St. Patrick’s Cathedral, you can be sure to catch revelers showing off their homemade hats throughout the city starting at 10am.<\/p>\n
