Ocean City’s spring calendar continues with events that showcase the Boardwalk and Downtown districts.
The first of two Great Egg Hunts will return to the Boardwalk on Saturday, March 28. Participating merchants will invite children up to age 7 to visit more than 50 stores with their families to collect eggs filled with toys, treats and prizes.
The free event will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or while supplies last. Flyers will direct families to participating stores to collect eggs trick-or-treat-style. Families are asked to bring their own baskets. The rain date is March 29. A second Great Egg Hunt is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. April 4 with a rain date of April 5. More information is available on Facebook (@ocnjboardwalk) or Instagram (@oc_njboardwalk).
The Easter Bunny will be in town to visit with children 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 28 and 29 at Mark Soifer Park at the corner of Ninth Street and Asbury Avenue. The event gives families a chance to take advantage of all that Ocean City’s downtown shopping and dining district has to offer. The Easter Bunny will be back at the park from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 4.
