🚨 EGG HUNT EMERGENCY WEATHER WATCH 🚨
Ah yes, springtime in Pennsylvania—the magical season where we get sunshine and 70-degree breezes one minute and snow squalls, earthquakes, and flash floods the next. Mother Nature is clearly in her "chaotic neutral" era.

That said, many of the Harrisburg & West Shore area's egg hunts scheduled for this weekend are being cancelled or rescheduled due to the forecasted monsoon-level rains (and let’s be honest, mud that will suck your boots off like quicksand). To make it more egg-citing, many hunts that require registration are already full!

👉 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check directly with the event host or venue before loading your kids into rainboots and pastel outfits. The only thing worse than a muddy meltdown is a meltdown with no eggs in sight.

💡 Usually, there’s a link in the event details that takes you right to the host’s website or Facebook page—please use it for the most up-to-date info before heading out.

I’ll update as many listings as I can, but I’m just one lady with four kids and a mountain of wet laundry. Bless your basket and good luck out there!

Ready, Set, Scramble! The Best Egg Hunts & Easter Events Near You

Ah, Easter—the magical time of year when kids suddenly develop Olympic-level sprinting abilities the moment someone yells, “Go!” at an egg hunt. It’s a season of pastel chaos, chocolate bribery, and asking yourself why you thought real grass in an Easter basket was a good idea (spoiler: it wasn’t).

If you're hunting (see what I did there?) for the best egg hunts, bunny visits, and springtime celebrations in the Harrisburg & West Shore area, you’re in luck! This guide is your one-stop shop for every event where kids can fill their baskets, burn off some energy, and—let’s be honest—give you at least 10 minutes of glorious silence while they sort their loot.
