While the official Fifth Avenue Easter Parade was not scheduled due to the pandemic, bonnet lovers still flocked to the plaza at Rockefeller Center and the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral to show off their bonnet ingenuity.

An online Easter bonnet contest still took place online, but the bonnet enthusiasts, who were all masked up, flooded Fifth Avenue with vibes of color and creativity. As the day warmed up under the April sun, a joyous time was had by all.
