Due to the stormy weather forecast, the Great Egg Hunt that had been scheduled for Saturday, March 23, on the Ocean City Boardwalk will now be held on Sunday, March 24.
Participating Boardwalk merchants will invite children up to age 7 to visit stores with their families to collect eggs filled with toys, treats and prizes. The free event will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or while supplies last. Flyers will direct families to participating stores to collect eggs trick-or-treat-style.
A second Great Egg Hunt is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. March 30, with a rain date of March 31. More information is available on Facebook (@ocnjboardwalk) or Instagram (@oc_njboardwalk).
The Easter Bunny will be in town to visit with children 9 a.m. to noon on March 23, 24 and 30. The March 23 event will move indoors at City Hall (Ninth Street and Asbury Avenue).
The March 24 and March 30 events will be outdoors across the street at Mark Soifer Park at the corner of Ninth Street and Asbury Avenue. The event gives families a chance to take advantage of all that Ocean City’s downtown shopping and dining district has to offer.
