Entitled: "Easter parade on the boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey" shows an enormous crowd, spanning the length of the boardwalk, posing and dressed in their Easter best. The Easter parade is an American cultural event consisting of a festive strolling procession on Easter Sunday. Typically, it is a somewhat informal and unorganized event, with or without religious significance. Persons participating in an Easter parade traditionally dress in new and fashionable clothing, particularly ladies' hats, and strive to impress others with their finery. The Easter parade is most closely associated with Fifth Avenue in New York City, but Easter parades are held in many other cities. No photographer credited, dated 1905.
