New Yorkers donned their pastels on Sunday, April 5, bringing a blossom of spring to an otherwise dreary day for the annual Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival.

Starting at 10 am, participants and onlookers alike mingled in the street, exchanging awed looks at the creativity and flora of their neighbors. Hats with towering bouquets were abundant, as were mountains of twisted balloons and eggs of all kinds — by the dozen, of the Fabergé variety, crocheted, hatching dragons, and nestled in hairdos.

The tradition dates back to the 1870s, but it‘s evolved into a rambunctious and all-inclusive pageant of New York’s crafters, artists, and street performers.
