""It feels like a beautiful community of people because we are all just there to express ourselves in new and interesting ways without it being a contest.""
""Not only is this a beautiful artist and creative expression of our excitement for spring and getting to shake off the coldness of winter and being inside...""
The Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival in New York City celebrates the arrival of spring with participants wearing elaborate hats and costumes. This informal event, which began in the 1870s, takes place on Easter Sunday along Fifth Avenue. Participants stroll from 49th to 57th streets, with the busiest area near St. Patrick's Cathedral. The festival is free and open to all, emphasizing community and self-expression rather than competition. Artists like Casey Sobel create unique costumes, showcasing creativity and excitement for the season.
