Beyond the egg hunts, attendees can enjoy a wide variety of activities including free photos with the Easter Bunny, a screening of “Peter Rabbit” 2 from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., and a selection of tasty treats from local food trucks.

Admission is free, and all are encouraged to bring their Easter baskets and bunny ears to fully embrace the spirit of the day.
