Every year on Easter Sunday people from all over show off their finest Easter bonnets. For many, it’s a great day for families (and pets!) to come out and participate in a New York City pageant that dates back to late 1800s. From around 10 A.M. until 4 P.M. the parade will march north along Fifth Avenue from 49th Street to 57th Street.
