During the 19th century in America, particularly in New York City, the tradition of wearing Easter bonnets became so popular that it led to the creation of the famous Fifth Avenue Easter Parade. What began as a simple stroll after Easter church services evolved into a grand spectacle where people would promenade along Fifth Avenue, showing off their elaborate bonnets and outfits. The parade soon attracted thousands of spectators who came to admire the creativity and elegance of the participants. The tradition of wearing Easter bonnets has inspired not only fashion trends but also culinary delights. In some parts of the world, especially in Eastern Europe, there’s a tradition of baking Easter bread in the shape of a bonnet.
