The 150-year-old tradition made its glorious return to Fifth Avenue Sunday.
After a pandemic cancellation in 2020, and an unsanctioned gathering last year, thousands of people sauntered and sashayed their way up and down Fifth Avenue Sunday for New York City's Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival.
The parade is a tradition that dates back to the 1870s, when high-society swells would show off their finery on Easter morning. And while today’s often cheeky — and sometimes quite deranged — outfits might have caused consternation back in the Gilded Age, the creativity on display brought shrieks of delight to the hordes of spectators who roamed around taking a million photos of everything.
As always, much of the action happened in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, though the grand avenue was closed to vehicles from 49th to 57th streets to make room for the fantastically attired throngs. It's not really a parade, per se ; more like a pastel-tinted, bunny-eared block party celebrating the return of spring, and with it, a feeling of hope and joy, to New York City.
