Spring is in the air and Easter celebrations are popping up all across our region! While I'll actually be spending the holiday in Florida celebrating my birthday (yep, it landed on Easter!) - I wanted to make sure our local families have the ultimate guide to celebrating right here at home. From traditional egg hunts and family festivals to creative art camps and fun-filled shopping center events, there are plenty of opportunities for our local community to celebrate together.
Below is a chronological guide to local Easter events happening throughout late March and early April in Union County and South Charlotte. Click the links to view the official event pages, register, or grab tickets!

The Town of Indian Trail takes Easter seriously! The legendary Hop-To-IT festival features thousands of eggs strewn across the park, with staggered hunting times based on age groups. The event also features photos with the Easter Bunny, crafts, and games. Be sure to arrive early!
ā Tip for Families: Many egg hunts begin promptly at their start times and eggs disappear in the blink of an eye. Arriving 15–30 minutes early is often the best way to ensure your kids don't miss out, gives you time to park, and lets you find the right age-group areas!
