The 23rd Annual Easter Bonnet Competition raised an astounding and unexpected $3,407,848 through the combined efforts of 58 participating Broadway, Off-Broadway, and National Tour companies. Since 1987, when the first Easter Bonnet Competition raised $18,000, 23 editions of this now extraordinary, highly-anticipated annual event have brought in more than $39 million, almost 25% of BC/EFAs lifetime total of over $160 million.

Filmed by a random kind stranger, but she kept flipping the camera sideways and back which makes for a dizzying video, but at least we have a memory of the challenging fun dance. It is not often that we would dance with butterflies, reindeer moss, candied eggs, silk flowers, feathers and birds on our heads! I had to tie my boater hat with a white ribbon to prevent it from falling off but it ended up making me look more like Beatrix Potter’s Jemima Puddle Duck. Our hats collided a few times but you just laugh and move on. But in answer to who won the best bonnet in the dance battle? Clearly Michelle’s spectacular psychedelic butterfly paradise won by an eggstatic stretch.

Special mention: Michael Arenella is on the trumpet fronting his fabulous Dreamland Orchestra performing to Tiger Rag. It does not get any better than that.

Easter Sunday, April 12th

12:30 pm – 3 pm

Fifth Avenue near 54th street, a couple blocks north of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral

Michael Arenella and His 11-piece Dreamland Orchestra invites you to join us this Easter Sunday at the Easter Parade.

Prompted by the proliferation of Peruvian karaoke pipists and folks sporting spaghetti strainers as headwear, we’d like to reclaim the Old New York elegance that defined the Easter Parade.

We’ve decided to stake out a corner of Fifth Avenue and greet the glamorous ghosts of yore strolling by in their Sunday best, as well as our flourescent modern counterparts.

Meet us just north of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral (our exact location will depend on the local constabulary) near Fifth Avenue and 54th St.
