Here’s Where To Hunt For Eggs In San Mateo This Easter Weekend

SAN MATEO, CA — Hop around and hunt for eggs at the 48th annual Eggstravaganza from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday in San Mateo’s Central Park.

The City of San Mateo’s Parks and Recreation Department has two egg hunts planned for the day before Easter. The small egg hunt is for ages 0 to 3 and the large egg hunt is for ages 4 to 11.

It is free to participate, just make sure to get a wristband. Online wristbands have sold out, so get there early to grab one from the limited supply they will be providing in person.

Also, visitors can take a photo with the “Spring Bunny,” but attendees will also want to get there early for that because lines may close at 11:30 a.m. if capacity is reached.

Not only will there be an egg hunt and the Spring Bunny, but additional activities are planned as well:

• 9:15 a.m. – Puppet Art Theater Co. performance
• 10:15 a.m. – Costume Contest & Parade (Sign-ups open onsite from 9:00–10:00 a.m.) Dress in your springtime best for a chance to shine onstage and strut your stuff in a fun park parade
• 11:15 a.m. – Lori & RJ take the stage with singing and dancing for the whole family

The Rotary Club of Peninsula Starlight will provide pancakes & sausages, Edi’s Quesabirria & Taco’s will offer authentic Mexican dishes, Respectable Bird will serve up some fried chicken sandwiches and fries, and Humphry Slocombe will dish out gourmet ice cream treats.
