It's Easter Sunday in the city. St. Patrick's Cathedral was full of mass goers this morning celebrating the holiday
0:18
And just right outside the doors on 5th Avenue was the annual Easter parade
0:22
We've been coming for four years, and it's just a great place to see community and New York spirit and really creativity come alive

This year's fashion selection of bonnets and colorful outfits did not miss

I'm the Golden Egg King this year, and I'm giving away magical unicorns to all the good little people that are in costume

This is Bogie, and this is Kimba, their twin brothers, and they've been doing this for 13 years

And they seem like they like wearing these Easter outfits. They like wearing all the outfits I create for them

This Easter Sunday tradition dates back to the 1870s, where parade goers lined down Fifth Avenue wearing their best hats at the Bonnet Festival
1:05
We come every year. I think this is probably our 10th. So fun. So fun
1:09
Some of these hats took hours and hours of time to make. And many of these bonnet wearers told me they make a new one for the parade every year

This is an upside-down dog bed that my dog decided to not sleep in
1:23
and it became the beginning structure of this year's Easter bonnet. The inspiration was just a top hat with peeps on it, and everything flowed from there
1:32
Lots of smiles and sunshine on this Easter Sunday for all. Your fortune
1:38
Oh, wow. Look at this. If one eats something and nobody sees it, does it have calories
1:46
What do you think? I think no, right? That's a good question. I agree with you
