HUNTSVILLE – Soccer balls will give way to thousands of hidden Easter eggs at John Hunt Park for the third annual Eggstravaganza.
Billed as one of Huntsville Parks & Recreation’s biggest annual events, the free community egg hunt for ages 12 and under is March 23, from 9-11 a.m. Free parking is available at the Jaycees Community Building and nearby Joe Davis Stadium.
In case of rain, the Eggstravaganza will move to the Jaycee Community Building.
Parks & Recreation Director James Gossett said this year’s event promises even more fun and excitement for families.
“This annual tradition continues to grow each year, and it’s just as fun for my department as it is for attendees,” he said. “It’s sure to be a fantastic time with activities the whole family can enjoy.”
The Easter Bunny arrives at 9 a.m. and there will be more than 15,000 hidden eggs.
Along with the egg hunt, there will be a coloring area, games with prizes, a temporary tattoo station and photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny.
Food vendors will have popcorn, ice cream, corn dogs, beverages and other treats for purchase.
