Spend your holiday weekend in Ocean City with a full slate of Easter events in store.
The second Great Egg Hunt is set for April 19 on the Boardwalk. Fifty participating merchants will invite children up to age 7 to visit stores with their families to collect eggs filled with treats and toys. The event will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or while supplies last. Flyers will direct families to participating stores. Rain date is Sunday, April 20. More information is available on Facebook (@ocnjboardwalk) or Instagram (@oc_njboardwalk).
The Easter Bunny will visit with children from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. April 19, at Mark Soifer Park (9th Street and Asbury Avenue).
Then, on Easter Sunday, all are invited to the traditional, non-denominational Easter Sunrise Service at 6:15 a.m. at the Ocean City Music Pier. The service also will be streamed via Zoom for anybody who cannot attend the live event: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84581188760.
An Easter favorite, the Philly Keys return Sunday with their dueling piano show at 12 p.m. in front of Ocean City Music Pier.
From 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., kids can take photos with the Easter bunny in a lifeguard boat.
