Holiday flair in the city // Easter weekend in Richmond was filled with sunshine and fun. People of all ages flocked to two staple favorite events celebrating the holiday — the Dominion Family Easter at Maymont last Saturday and Sunday’s Easter on Parade on Monument Avenue.
Children enjoyed decorating eggs and bonnets, competing in games and visiting with the Easter Bunny at the event on the rolling grounds of Maymont.
Thousands enjoyed seeing and being seen as they strolled along Monument Avenue wearing their Easter finery, bonnets and costumes. The street was closed to traffic between Davis and Allen avenues, turning the tree-lined boulevard into a venue for music and entertainment for people and pets alike. Christopher Hudert walks on stilts high above the crowds strolling along Monument Avenue, and Darryl Burrell’s outfit, right, is topped by a handmade crown of fresh flowers.
