Annual Ocean Pines Easter events reimagined for 2021

Instead of the annual Easter celebration in White Horse Park, the Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department will offer multiple Easter egg hunts for which families can register on Saturday, April 3.

The annual spring event normally offers games, crafts, and more in addition to egg hunts for several age groups. Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, however, the celebration will take place with scheduled egg hunts only in order to allow families to participate safely.

Egg hunt times will be offered for children ages 1-10 from 11-11:30 a.m., 12-12:30 p.m. and 1-1:30 p.m. Families are asked to reserve a spot for one egg hunt time only by calling 410-641-7052.

Participation in the Easter egg hunts is free, but registration is required. Limited spaces are available and donations will be accepted.

Although the Easter bonnet parade and contest - which are usually part of the Easter celebration - will not be held, children of all ages can still create a festive and fun hat on Sunday, March 21 from 1:30-3 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Community Center.

Blank hats and a variety of craft materials including feathers, ribbon, foam eggs and more will be provided. 

The cost to participate is $10 per craft for residents and $12 for non-residents. 

Spaces are limited and pre-registration is required by calling 410-641-7052.

The Recreation and Parks Department has also announced that "Breakfast with the Easter Bunny," originally scheduled for Saturday, March 27 at the Community Center, has been canceled.
