Philadelphia is gearing up for its 93rd straight Easter promenade this Sunday on South Street, a free family bash starting at noon at 5th and South. Expect the Easter bunny, penny candies, bunny ears for all, and crowds shredding in their Sunday finest for some classic community vibes. Leading the pack as always is Grand Marshal Henry Davin, decked out in his signature extravagant style that screams Easter flair. Organizers say he's the perfect frontman, dropping fresh looks every year to hype the whole parade.
This tradition draws folks from all over for that feel-good energy, celebrating together rain or shine. It's been packing the streets for decades, turning Easter into a block party full of creativity and joy. New this year, they're nodding to the nation's 250th birthday with a special contest for colonial-inspired outfits, and, and, think Benjamin, Franklin, or that iconic key. Plus, the Razzle Dazzle Showdown hands out prizes for best-dressed families and pets, rewarding pure flair.
