Greetings Neighbor and Happy Easter, to all those that observe!

As we celebrate Easter, the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival is happening tomorrow! Some may ask, why is Easter so early this year? Well, the first full moon after the March equinox is March 24-25th, simply put, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. So if the full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is the following Sunday.

Hop on the NYC Ferry and go to South Street Seaport for their Easter event or check out All Events in NYC for more Easter celebrations.
