Check out Easter egg hunts, drive-thrus, walk-thrus & more spring events coming up in cities throughout O.C. region.
ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Easter festivities screeched to a halt last year as pandemic-related, lockdown orders kicked in throughout Orange County. This year, things aren't quite back to "normal," but as mandates lift and organizers get creative, a slew of fun, family-friendly events are planned — virtual and in-person — to celebrate Easter and spring.
Scroll through Patch's annual, city-by-city activity guide to see what's going on near you. Easter in 2021 falls on Sunday, April 4, and many events require advance booking, so hop to it!
NOTE: Always check with sponsors to confirm proceedings as planned. And if you know of other Easter, Passover or spring-focused fests in your neighborhood, share with Patch readers in the comments section.
