Updates for May 2025

Easter will be on Sunday, April 20, 2025, which is later, so the weather should be GREAT! ! 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 early April.

When we CONFIRM an event for 2025, 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, as always, call or see their website before you go..
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 REALLY must call or email to confirm before you go. They may have been discontinued.

Children's Consignment Sales: Looking to save money on children's clothes, toys, books, etc, find a local children's consignment sale, also often held by churches in the Spring and Fall, click here!
Find a fun factory tour here - which is also fun to do on a Road trip or a Camping trip - Both websites help you find free and low-cost, but fun, interesting things to do and see!

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 Since many egg hunts do not publish the current year's dates until the very last minute, or simply never respond to email, we may not get their current information, which is why we have links to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!

A parade with costumed people (no floats or marching bands) appreciated by all!. The tradition dates back to the 1870s. That is why some people walk in period costume. Many create elaborate Easter bonnets. Some of them are way over the top, New York style. The Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue provides a showcase of finery from elegant to outlandish. Its full name is the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival. It's not really a parade. People walk around randomly on the street. Sunday morning is the quietest time of the week in New York, and The City sleeps more since the pandemic. Midtown is eerily quiet. It's never this quiet. Definitely take your camera. One of the joys of the Parade is the incredible creativity of your fellow New Yorkers. You will see many things that make you stop and say “Wow." It's good family fun. Kids love it. And you might as well make your own Easter bonnet. Some groups of friends work a theme togethe (UPDATED: March 17, 2022, JBS)
