Easter Parade in New York City, NY

New York City's Annual Easter Parade has been a part of the New York City scene since the mid 1800's, and to this day continues the traditions started in the 19th century.

Unlike the city's Thanksgiving Day Parade, you won't find any floats or giant inflatable cartoons. What you will find is a festive time of celebration that marks both Easter and the parade itself.

The parade found its start in the mid 1800's as many of New York City's elite would go to the churches along Fifth Avenue, and then strut through the street in their Sunday best. Even to this day you'll find extravagance and lavishness in high demand as a wide variety of bonnets and costumes are adorned to carry on the tradition that started so long ago. If you're going to be in the area during this time, you'll definitely want to come and see what a large New York City parade is all about.
