Visiting New York City during Easter is a great way to get a taste of spring, take in some sights, and enjoy some of the festivities. There is a lot going on to celebrate the holiday like the Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival. You can find Easter Egg hunts around the city for kids, tons of great places to get brunch, and more. And even if hanging with the Easter Rabbit isn’t on your BINGO card this year, there are lots of ways to enjoy the wonderful weather and soak up as much of spring in the city as possible.
Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival 🐰🐣
Every year on Easter there is a parade from 49th Street to 57th Street on Fifth Avenue. It’s really a sight to see! Anyone is welcome to join this tradition that dates back to the 1870s. People wear some amazing bonnets and hats. People go really over the top so if you’re looking to participate, go big!
St. Patrick’s Cathedral Easter Mass
If you’re going to be near the Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival, you can also head to Easter Mass at the stunning St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You may need tickets depending on which service you decide to visit! It’s a great opportunity to see inside the beautiful Cathedral.
Easter Egg Hunts
NYC Easter egg hunts are super popular, so if you decide you want to take your family to one, it’s best to book tickets ahead of time. Race against the other guests to see if you can grab as much Easter candy as possible. The Children’s Museum of Manhattan has a great Easter egg hunt each year that’s included with your ticket. It’s a great place for the kiddos to get some prizes and see the Easter Bunny! For a bigger Easter egg hunt, head to Governer’s Island where there are multiple hunts scheduled by age. With over 10,000 painted wooden eggs to be found, everyone should leave with a prize!
