Hidden away near Mylor Bridge on the River Fal, the Pandora Inn on Restronguet Creek holds an Easter bonnet parade. Easter parades are popular events in some world cities and are based loosely on processions for the Christian celebration of Palm Sunday initiating Easter week. The challenge is to decorate bonnets and be judged for effort and wearability by processioning the millinery through the streets. It is now more often than not accompanied by full costume-wearing.
