"Easter Parade" is the closing number of Julie Andrews: One Step Into Spring. The song begins during a quiet moment between Julie Andrews and Kermit the Frog and evolves into a large production number with all the guests from the special parading around in their Easter costumes. Leslie Uggams, Leo Sayer, Miss Piggy, Dr. Teeth, Fozzie, Thog, Sweetums, Timmy Monster and Mean Mama all take part in the parade and pose at the end for a photo taken by Gonzo.
A hat shop clerk sings a snatch of the song to himself in a Sesame Street sketch.
