New York Easter Bonnet Parade: Who has the most extravagant hat?

The annual New York Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival is held on Fifth Avenue, and it is one of the most unique holiday celebrations in New York. Men, women, and children wear carefully designed hats, competing to be the most eye-catching and vibrant, sweeping away the cold of winter. The Easter Bonnet Parade has not been a long-standing tradition in the United States. In the mid-19th century in New York, people believed that wearing new clothes on Easter would bring good luck. This custom has developed into a combination of fashion and tradition, with people wearing extremely exaggerated costumes and hats to participate in the parade. Nowadays, the bonnets have become the focus of the Easter Parade, with Easter elements such as eggs, flowers, and rabbits incorporated into the decorations of the hats.
