This is not your typical parade! Bring a bonnet and join in! This tradition stretches back to the 1870s. The parade begins at 10:00am on Easter Sunday (April 5) and runs until about 4:00pm. The parade marches north on Fifth Avenue from 49th Street up to 57th Street. For the best views and crowds, head to St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets).
