The annual community event will unfold at the soccer field adjacent to the Allen Park Ice Rink.

“The Easter Egg Hunt is a cherished tradition in Jamestown, eagerly anticipated each year by residents and visitors alike,” city officials said in a news release. “This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with a range of exciting activities and attractions planned for attendees.”

Children ages12 and under are invited to participate in the hunt. The city has added a new sensory and handicap area followed by four distinct egg hunting locations tailored to different age groups: 4 and under, ages 5-8, and ages 9-12.

There are prizes in each location, adding an extra element of excitement to the day’s festivities. In addition to the egg hunt, families can look forward to a visit from the Easter Bunny who will be on hand to spread cheer and pose for photos.
