Eastertide in the Gardens, April 4, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at The Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo

Celebrate the beauty of spring at Eastertide in the Gardens, a beloved family tradition at The Elizabethan Gardens. Children can explore the gardens with a special map to visit egg stations along the pathways while enjoying festive games, crafts, and seasonal activities throughout the grounds. Set among vibrant spring blooms and scenic garden paths, this cheerful event offers families a fun and memorable way to celebrate Easter weekend on Roanoke Island.

Celebrate the season with family fun at the Easter Eggstravaganza, hosted by Kitty Hawk Kites on Saturday, April 4, 2026, from 10:30 AM–1:15 PM at Jockey’s Ridge Crossing. This festive spring event invites families to gather across from the dunes near Jockey’s Ridge State Park for a morning of Easter-themed activities and coastal fun.

Kids ages 2–12 can take part in a series of small-group Easter egg hunts, each lasting about 15 minutes and filled with hidden eggs and special prizes. Families can also enjoy photos with the Easter Bunny, browse nearby shops, and soak in the festive atmosphere at this popular Outer Banks springtime tradition.

Participation in the egg hunt is $7 per child, and advance registration is recommended as spots often fill quickly. Bring your camera—and an Easter basket—for a memorable morning celebrating the holiday with beautiful views of the OBX dunes nearby.
