Your kids don’t have to be interested in politics to enjoy a visit to the state Capitol this Saturday (April 19).
Downtown Lansing Inc. will host the 61st annual easter egg hunt on the Capitol lawn 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday. Participants will be divided into three age groups with three different start times: ages 3 and under at 10:30 a.m., ages 4 to 6 at 10:45 a.m. and ages 7 and up at 11 a.m.
The egg hunt will be followed by DLI’s annual Bunny Hop on the Square from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering the chance to collect eggs and other goodies from businesses in the 100 to 300 blocks of South Washington Square. No purchase is necessary to participate, though many of the businesses will also be running promotions during the event.
While the egg hunt has been a tradition for 60 years, Saturday will mark the first hunt hosted by DLI. The event was formerly hosted by the Lansing Jaycees.
“Over the past 60 years, Lansing Jaycees have done such an incredible job bringing together our community for the Easter season,” DLI executive director Cathleen Edgerly said. “We’re so proud that the Lansing Jaycees have passed the torch to us to combine this event with Bunny Hop on the Square. We invite the community to come out for an afternoon of family fun and supporting local.”
As on all Saturdays, street parking downtown will be free. For more information, visit downtownlansing.org/events.
