People gather on Fifth Avenue in creative and whimsical Easter finery every year to celebrate the holiday.
Wealthy New Yorkers would stroll down Fifth Avenue following Easter services to showcase their most beautiful dresses and suits.
Over time, the parade evolved to include elaborately creative hats and other crazy headwear, drawing crowds of locals and tourists alike.
Divabetic Image and Style Advisor Catherine Schuller was among the revelers in creative and colorful hats at this year’s Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival.
Anyone can join in the fun. Whether you’ve been planning your ensemble for months, or you just decided to decorate your favorite hat today, go for it!
The Easter Parade feels like a sober Halloween Parade.
It happens in the morning, and most people have left the church. There’s a joyful energy in the air.
