Easter 2021: Egg Hunts, Services On The Upper West Side

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — After a year of virtual services and family fun in 2020, in-person events are back up and running for Easter this year on the Upper West Side.

Several organizations throughout Manhattan have scheduled socially distanced and safe Easter egg hunts or other activities to celebrate the holiday. There are also still some virtual options for families that prefer celebrating from home.

There is also a line-up of virtual Upper West Side church services for Holy Week and Easter, including from the Redeemer Presbyterian Church and the Ascension Roman Catholic Church.

• Redeemer Presbyterian Church Livestream
• Ascension Roman Catholic Church Livestream

Here's a look at two Easter Egg hunts on the Upper West Side, according to local event guides:

Easter Egg Hunt With City Kinder: Ostereier Suchen

"City Kinder hosts a German-language Easter Egg Hunt for the whole family, with areas set up for bigger and smaller kids, so everyone has a chance to collect some eggs and trade them in for a fun Easter goodie bag at the end." The event is Sunday in Central Park from 2 to 4 p.m.

Easter Bunny Ears and Dance Party

"Book a Superpowered Creators adventure tour and prep for Easter by building a pair of bunny ears then hopping along to the beat during an Easter parade and dance party."

Register in advance. Masks are required at all times. The event is hosted by the Children's Museum of Manhattan.
