This Easter Sunday, put on your best bonnet and head over to Fifth Avenue for New York City's annual Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival.

The best place to catch all the action is in the area around St. Patrick's Cathedral, but the festivities run on Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th street. This event is a New York City tradition that dates back to the 1870s! Unlike most NYC parades, the Easter Parade is not an organized event and anyone can participate. The parade will begin at 10 am and last until 4 pm on Sunday, April 15, 2022.

If you plan on attending service at St. Patrick's Cathedral, there are eight masses to choose from. Only the 10:00 AM Mass requires tickets, the rest are open to the public. Click here for the full Mass schedule.

Happy Easter!
