Easter Parade
Bonnets on display
An Easter Parade is a festive public procession held on Easter Sunday, traditionally featuring people strolling in their finest spring clothing and elaborate hats.
The custom is most associated with New York City's Fifth Avenue, where it became a social institution in the late nineteenth century.
The phrase also refers to the 1948 musical film starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire.
