Annual Easter Egg Hunt Returns To Woonsocket

WOONSOCKET, RI — The City of Woonsocket's annual Easter Egg Hunt will return this year as a socially distant, drive-through event, said Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt in a news release Friday.

The 2021 Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, March 27 at Rivers Edge Recreational Complex from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The rain date for the event is Saturday, April 3.

"Our Easter Egg Hunt this year will allow families to get out of the house and have fun on our specially decorated 'Bunny Trail' drive-thru route while still maintaining safe COVID-19 protocols from the comfort of their cars," said Baldelli-Hunt.

"This will be a community event that will put smiles on the faces of our children, many of whom have been cooped up indoors because of the virus," she continued.

The event, organized by Elizabeth Kerrigan of the City Parks Department, will include candy-filled gift packs, special displays, music, prizes, and a visit from the Easter Bunny. COVID-19 protocols will be in place to ensure the safety of all participants.
