WAKE FOREST, NC - The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department will host the 2026 Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday, March 28, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road.
Presented by Bumgarner & Martin Orthodontics and Skylift Garage Doors, this free family event offers a fresh approach to the traditional egg hunt. Instead of different age groups “scrambling” for eggs at assigned times, children and their families are invited to stroll along the “Bunny Trail” and collect their eggs any time between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The festivities will also feature a DJ pumping out fun tunes, hula hoopers, a bubble artist, Easter-themed crafts, and a visit from the Easter Bunny and Rose Fairy.
Registration is not required, but participants should come with baskets in hand ready to fill at designated stops along the Bunny Trail.
In addition, an Egg-ceptional Zone (EZ) will cater to individuals with disabilities and their families from 9:30-10 a.m. Situated in the Performance Garden, adjacent to the historic barns, the EZ is designed to provide a fun, safe, family-friendly environment that allows individuals who may have difficulty participating in a traditional egg hunt the opportunity to pick up Easter eggs at their own pace. Bring a buddy to help if needed.
The following local businesses and organizations have generously contributed to the 2026 Wake Forest Easter Eggstravaganza: Skylift Garage Doors and Bumgarner & Martin Orthodontics and Partner Sponsors: Crossroads Fellowship, Wells Family Dental Group, Lightbridge Academy, Wildberry Pediatric Dentistry, Dandelion Learning Collaborative, Gladwell Orthodontics, and Nothing Bundt Cakes.
