Easter Bonnet Festival Parade 2026

Each Easter Sunday, New York City hosts one of its most whimsical spring traditions — the Easter Bonnet Festival Parade along Fifth Avenue. In 2026, the event takes place on Sunday, April 5, turning the midtown avenue into a lively showcase of colour, creativity and springtime spirit. Families, visitors and locals alike stroll from 49th to 57th Street, many wearing elaborate bonnets — from floral creations to playful, oversized designs — while spectators admire the playful fashion and festive atmosphere. The event runs roughly from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., inviting everyone to enjoy the parade at their own pace. Whether viewing from the sidelines or joining the procession in your own Easter hat, it’s a joyful way to celebrate the season together.
