Did you miss Easter egg hunts this year? PLAN B: hold your own, see this
page!
Looking for a local Easter egg hunt for your children? Or an Easter parade, Easter brunch or breakfast or other Easter events in the Chicago area of Illinois? Scroll down this page and you will see all of
those in the Chicago area of Illinois, sorted by county.
ALWAYS either see their website or call before you go
to confirm the info, there are often last minute changes which they do not
report to us! If you have missed the Easter egg hunts in your area (or they were canceled), see this page about
how to easily have your own backyard or local park Easter egg hunt.
If you know of one we missed and want to add it or correct the
information,
please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy

Updates for May 2024
Easter egg hunts are back! We've started updating the info for this year. Unfortunately MOST wait until the last minute (often just a week before) to publish their
dates, times and details. We're updating their information daily as it comes in. We expect pages to be up
to date by mid-March.
- When we CONFIRM an event for 2024, the date will be highlighted in pink, like this
passage to make them easy to find as you scroll down the page.
- Hunts that were held in the past year or 2 but not yet confirmed for this year are in orange.
- The ones NOT in either orange or pink are more dubious - held in the past but not confirmed in the past few years, so just our
best guess! These you must call or email to confirm before you go.
RELATED:
ALWAYS click the links to check date and time with the event's own website, as there are often last minute cancellations, postponements or changes to locations due to weather (like heavy rains) or logistical problems, just click on the link to the event's website and (in most cases), you want to click on the "events" link or "calendar" link on their website.
Or use their site search for "Easter". Do let them know you found them here, so
they will update us next year. Since many egg hunts do not publish the
current year's dates until the very last minute, or simply never respond to
email, we may not get their
current information, which is why we have links to their websites, Facebook
pages and calendars. Besides egg hunts, there are also Easter breakfasts and brunches and
Easter parades to watch!
