CHANDLER, Ariz. – Get eggs-cited! Chandler’s Family Easter Celebration returns on Friday, April 3. This free, family-friendly event will take place at Dr. A.J. Chandler Park: Stage Plaza from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Bring Easter baskets for children ages nine and under to collect eggs at the 24 Karrot Trail, which has a new format this year. To accommodate more little bunnies, the collected eggs will be empty and redeemed for a goody bag, filled with treats and trinkets and a possible golden ticket. Those who receive a golden ticket will be given an additional golden egg goody bag. The 24 Karrot Trail will keep hopping the entire event, from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Every family in attendance can enter to win a free drawing for an Easter Basket brimming with goodies. The drawing will be at 7:40 p.m. and the winner must be present to win.
Little bunnies will also enjoy carnival games, free inflatable attractions, a prize wheel, performances from local groups and photos with the Easter Bunny. Food and beverages will also be available for purchase.
Chandler is on the hunt for our most egg-cellent artists with our annual Easter coloring contest. Young artists, up to nine years old, can use crayons, markers and glitter to decorate this year’s coloring page. The coloring page can be found at any Chandler recreation facility or downloaded from Easter. Get hopping – entries must be submitted by Monday, March 30 at 5 p.m. Winners in four age categories will be announced at the event stage at 5:45 p.m.
The 46th annual Family Easter Celebration is presented by the City of Chandler in partnership with Apex Windows & Bath and Chandler Lions Club.
