April 24, 2011, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
On Easter Sunday, (April 24, 2011) you have the opportunity to see Easter bonnets to the extreme as “paraders” wander along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Street, which is closed to vehicular traffic. Unlike most New York City Parades, the Easter Parade is a far less organized event and folks wander the street admiring extreme Easter Bonnets and pets dressed in Easter costumes.“This parade doesn’t have any floats or marching bands but it is a spectacle nonetheless. From around the world people come to New York City to participate. Outfits range from elegant to outrageous. From outfits accented with live animals to the latest high fashions, there is a little bit of everything for the parade viewer,” says one review.
