Sunday’s Best: Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival
Fancy bonnets, intricately crafted hats and over-the-top fascinators are the stars of the show at the annual Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival. A New York City tradition that’s taken place on Easter Sundays since the 1870s, the event is a chance for participants to get creative. This year’s standout looks celebrated Pride, pop culture and, of course, spring flowers. Click through for a glimpse at the festivities.
