Community Egg Hunt
2024-03-30 09:00 - 11:00 | Brighton Common
Join us for the annual Community Egg Hunt, one of Brighton’s longest traditions in family events.
Every year, hundreds of children ages 2-10 gather in Brighton to welcome in spring and gather eggs filled with happy treats and surprises. This tradition was started in 1983, 40 years ago, by Gerry McCarthy and family, through St. Elizabeth’s Hospital until it was taken over by Brighton Main Streets almost 20 years ago.
This FREE Egg Hunt is open to the public with fun activities planned for kids of all ages. Stay tuned for more details. The day is never complete without a visit from the Easter Bunny himself. But don’t be late, as the egg hunt starts promptly at 10am!
Limit parking is available at:
The Brighton Elks Lodge 2199 – 326 Washington Street Brighton, Ma 02135 – Entrance to the parking lot is on Winship St
Municipal Lots – 398 Market Street & 301 Washington Street Brighton, Ma 02135
