Commonly believed to trace back to Protestant Christian reformer Martin Luther in the 1500s, the Easter egg hunt is a beloved annual tradition that has delighted children of all ages for centuries.
This year, Easter falls on Sunday, April 20, and churches and community organizations across town plan to host Easter egg hunts in the days leading up to the holiday. Grab an empty basket and check out these fun events in the greater Severna Park area for kids to hunt for hundreds of eggs filled with small treats and treasures.
