A true New York classic. Every Easter, Fifth Avenue fills with over-the-top bonnets, spring style and plenty of personality. The tradition dates back to the 1870s and was immortalized by Irving Berlin—with a boost from Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. Make a bonnet or bring a camera—this is NYC at its most festive (and fabulously eccentric).
Cherry blossoms are starting to bloom across Central Park, with early Okame trees already in flower and iconic Yoshino and Kanzan blooms just days away. Prime time for a stroll, run or picnic—track what’s blooming now and where to catch peak views next. Want to know where the cherry blossoms will bloom next?
