History of Easter Parade
The tradition of the Easter Parade goes back to the 1870s, when guilded -aged elite or rich Sochelites will walk on the fifth Avenue after the Easter month in St. Patrick Cathedral, so that they will show their spring final.
The incident gained the fame of pop culture after the 1948 music “Easter Parade”, starring Judy Garland and Fred Estair, strengthened its place in NYC history.
Even after so many years, the parade remains popular among people and is considered a celebration of self-expression and style, especially when it comes to hats. Paradzers become creative, sometimes even the crafting of bonnet from unpredictable materials such as recycled metrocard or upsicated household items.
