NYC Easter Parade: Dogs and Owners Showcase Festive Attire

Annual Easter Parade Tradition

• 🗓️ The Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival on Fifth Avenue is a long-standing tradition dating back to the 1870s.
• 📍 The event spans Fifth Avenue from East 49th to East 57th Street, taking place on Easter Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Canine Fashion and Themes

• 🐶 This year, twin chihuahuas Bogie and Kimba are dressed as dandies in pastel suits and elaborate top hats.
• 🎩 Their owner, pet couturier Anthony Rubio, spent approximately one day on each hat, featuring faux fur bunny ears.
• 🎭 Rubio chose the dandy theme to evoke the proper and polished style seen in old Hollywood musicals.
