Our team at Koons Woodbridge Hyundai has’ uncovered some details on a few of the most popular Easter activities taking place in and around Washington, D.C., so you can start planning your day and your week. While there are plenty of things going on, these are the ways you’re going to want to celebrate Easter this year.
White House Easter Egg Roll 2023
Location: South Lawn of the White House.
Cost: Free to lottery ticket winners.
Time: Two-hour time slots based on the ticket.
Date: Monday, April 10.
The White House Easter Egg Roll has been a time-honored tradition since the late 1870s. Because it’s such a popular event, those who want to attend must submit their names and other information to be selected through a lottery. Winners come from all 50 states, and some tickets are given to military service members as well as public schools to give away to children in the area. The National Park Service transforms the White House lawn into an Easter spectacle where children can dye eggs, listen to stories, participate in games, and, of course, hunt for Easter eggs.
One of the traditions and the event’s namesake is the Easter egg roll. This is where kids use a spoon to roll a hard-boiled egg across the lawn as quickly as possible, making for excitement and fun. Any child aged 13 or younger who attends will receive a commemorative wooden egg. Each year has a new theme, so keep your eye out for what it might be this year.
Great Country Farms Easter Egg Hunt
Location: 34345 Snickersville Turnpike, Bluemont, Virginia.
Cost: $7.50 per child in addition to the admissions ticket price.
Time: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Date: March 25 through April 8.
There’s a lot going on at Great Country Farms, so it’s worth the drive to get there. It’s the perfect spot to head outdoors with the family after being cooped up in the house all winter. Kids’ll love getting to see real live baby chicks walking around. They can also see other cute baby farm animals up close and personal. Hop on a wagon and take a relaxing ride around the farm. And you won’t want to miss the annual egg hunt.
Make sure to arrive an hour before your egg hunt time and get a pick-your-own bucket from the farm staff. Then get ready to let your child find up to 25 eggs. Once they have their limit, you can transfer their eggs into another basket for photos. Remember to return the eggs and the bucket so they can use them again next year. This reduces waste and protects the environment. They also have a fire lit right next to the egg hunt area, where the family can sit and roast marshmallows together.
Falls Church Easter Egg Hunt

Cost: Free.

Every year, more than 2,000 families come together at Cherry Hill Park in Falls Church, Virginia, to celebrate Easter and the beginning of spring at the Falls Church Easter Egg Hunt. Not only is this a free event, but you can also find free parking on many side streets around the park. Get there early, as the egg hunt starts at 10 a.m. on the dot.
This egg hunt is only for children between the ages of 1 and 11, and they’ll need to come equipped with their own baskets.

There’ll be lots of other fun things happening, so stop by and check it out.

Happening at Tudor Place, a historic mansion and museum, the Eggstravaganza! egg hunt is a must during the spring in Washington, D.C. It gives you a chance to visit the historic Tudor Place and see what’s in bloom around the garden while your child gets in on the excitement of the egg hunt. This event welcomes children of all ages.
They’ll need their own basket to collect their eggs, and the hunt starts at 10:30 a.m. After the egg hunt, they can participate in the egg roll on the South Lawn, which happens at 10:45 a.m. If your kids want to participate in the egg roll on the South Lawn, they’ll also need a hard-boiled egg and a spoon. Don’t forget your camera so you can capture all the action and get pictures with the Easter Bunny.
Family Flashlight Egg Hunt
Location: 300 Glyndon St. NE, Vienna, Virginia.
Cost: $5, children 1 year and younger are free.
Time: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Date: Friday, March 31.
The Family Flashlight Egg Hunt, put on by the city of Vienna, Virginia, is a unique event that puts a twist on the traditional egg hunt. Instead of looking for eggs in broad daylight, kids use their flashlights to search them out after dark. Kids 5 years and younger can show up at 6 p.m. to start hunting before it gets too dark, while older kids won’t start the fun until 8 p.m. Before the egg hunt begins, you can hang out in Glyndon Park, the event’s location, to listen to music and play games.
