An Easter Bonnet is a decorative hat traditionally worn during the Easter holiday, often associated with springtime celebrations. These bonnets are typically adorned with flowers, ribbons, and other festive decorations, symbolizing renewal and the arrival of warmer weather. The custom of wearing Easter bonnets dates back to the 19th century, particularly in the United States. The practice of showcasing Easter bonnets is often linked to the Easter Parade, a festive event where people display their elaborate hats while walking in public. This tradition has become a popular way to celebrate the holiday, especially in cities like New York, where large parades attract many participants and spectators.
