New York Easter Hat Parade

New York Easter Hat Parade
April 20
10 am to 4 pm

One of New York’s most fun traditions returns this Easter Sunday: the spontaneous hats parade on Fifth Avenue (between streets 49 and 57). From elegant pamelas to extravagant creations with bunny, eggs and even baseball stages, imagination is the only limit.

Although the event is not organized, the busiest point is in front of the cathedral of St. Patrick and the Rockefeller Center, to avoid agglomerations, it is best to go before noon, although the most lively atmosphere begins at that time.

The best? Anyone can join! You just need to walk, admire the hats … or dare to wear one. Happy Easter!
