Participants in the annual Easter Parade made their way along Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue on Sunday in a procession of the wild and whimsical.
The annual event is a New York City tradition that goes back well over a century, when the wealthy would get dressed in their best and go out for a stroll after Easter church services. These days, people wear a slew of outrageous hats, covered with flowers and feathers and everything in between. Some people dress their pets up as well.
The most well-known reference to the procession is the movie “Easter Parade” starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland. See more news-related photo galleries and follow us on Yahoo News Photo Twitter and Tumblr.
