Easter Bunnies On The Bayou: Get Your Rabbit Costume On

It's an Easter celebration like none you've ever experienced: Get ready to party on the Bayou.

Have you made your Easter plans yet? Brunch reservations? Hunting eggs? Cooking a leg of lamb? Do all of that, but don't forget about Bunnies on the Bayou.

It's hoppy, it's fun, and it's more than three decades old. This year, it takes place on Easter Sunday, April 16, and if you don't know what it is, you are in for a treat.

Think costumes, music, cocktails, and a crowd of cool people, all assembled in Fish Plaza on the bayou near Wortham Center. It's billed as the largest outdoor cocktail party in Texas, and it has since 2011 raised more than $670,000 for Houston-area organizations that support the LGBT community.
