Easter 2021 is a hopping affair, compared to last year’s lockdown. There are plenty of outdoor and socially-distant events — including egg hunts, photos with the Easter Bunny, petting zoos, craft markets, and more.
Here are some suggestions for safe celebrations this year, as well as a few freebies and deals.
If you’re still not dining out, take a look at our big list of Easter meals to-go.
For a day-by-day list of in-person Easter events like egg hunts scroll all the way down, past the chocolate deals and virtual events.
Note that the list will dwindle as Easter Sunday approaches and earlier events fall off the list.
Because of rescheduled rain dates, the events list continues through April 14th.
