Governors Island hosts its first pub­lic egg hunt, with 10,000 wood­en paint­ed eggs hid­den through­out the island’s 120 acres of open space, including island-spe­cif­ic prizes and give­aways for the most hard-boiled egg hunters.

This new event includes sev­er­al lev­els of egg hunts tai­lored to spe­cif­ic age groups, along with an Island-wide scav­enger hunt that every­one can take a crack at. The day-long cel­e­bra­tion at the Parade Ground also includes per­for­mances from Won­der­spark Pup­pets, Brook­lyn Mag­ic Shop, and more.

Spring-themed arts and crafts are fea­tured all day, and food is avail­able for pur­chase onsite from Gov­er­nors Island ven­dors, along with a beer gar­den from Gov­er­nors Island Beer Co.

Vis­i­tors also have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet and take pic­tures with the East­er Bun­ny and enjoy the hijinx of Looney Tooney the Clown.

Pre-reg­is­tra­tion is rec­om­mend­ed.
