One of Huntsville’s most popular spring traditions is hopping back to John Hunt Park.

Huntsville Parks and Recreation will host its fifth annual Eggstravaganza on Saturday, April 4, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Loretta P. Spencer Sports Complex. The free, family-friendly event will feature more than 15,000 eggs scattered across the fields for children ages 12 and under.

“Since its inaugural year, EGGstravaganza has become a spring tradition that kids and their families look forward to each year. This year, we’re excited to be able to host the event so close to the Easter holiday,” said Director of Parks and Recreation James Gossett. “For kids, the event feels like the big leagues of egg hunts and provides parents and guardians with great opportunities to create lasting memories for the whole family.”

In addition to the egg hunts, families can enjoy inflatables, interactive crafts and games, food trucks and photo opportunities. The Easter Bunny will also make a special appearance to greet children and take photos.

Organizers encourage families to arrive early to check in at the welcome tent and receive egg hunt tickets and field assignments. The hunt schedule is as follows:

10 a.m. – Children with adaptive needs
10:30 a.m. – Ages 5 and under
11 a.m. – Ages 6 to 8
11:30 a.m. – Ages 9 to 12

Children who miss their scheduled time may join the 11:30 a.m. group. Younger children may participate with older siblings during their assigned time, but older children are asked to hunt only within their age group or older to ensure a fair experience.

The event will take place at John Hunt Park, with free parking available near the sports complex.
