Ready Those Easter Baskets!

March 25, 2023

Easter is coming—we’ve seen the bunnies hopping around!—and many local spots are offering egg-themed fun for the family. Here are a few: Cedar hosts its first annual Easter Eggstravaganza at 11am April 8, with an egg hunt and appearance from the Easter Bunny. That same day, Downtown Traverse City offers the Bunny Hop, Scavenger Hunt, and Story Time with participating downtown businesses and Horizon Books. Eagle-eyed egg hunters should head to Frankfort’s Mineral Springs Park (3,000 eggs; 10am on April 8), Charlevoix’s East Park (4,500 eggs; 2pm on April 8), or Cheboygan’s Washington and Major City parks (10am on April 8). Need more Easter Bunny photo ops? Try Grandpa Shorter’s in Petoskey April 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8 for a chance at a picture—smiling, not screaming—for the mantel. Or make it a meal at kid-friendly Easter brunch spots like Black Star Farms in Suttons Bay or Boyne Falls at Boyne Mountain Resort.
