Easter Egg Hunts Return To Leesburg On April 1

LEESBURG, VA — A pair of Easter egg hunts are coming to Leesburg on Saturday afternoon. One event, hosted by the town, will be held at Ida Lee Park. Another egg hunt will be hosted by Loudoun United FC during halftime of their soccer match at Segra Field.

The event at Ida Lee Park is an annual tradition. This year, pre-registration is required. No sign-ups will be permitted on Saturday, organizers said.

The event is designed for children aged 1 to 8 and costs $10 per child.

The egg hunt and accompanying festivities will run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the park. In addition to the eggs, the Easter Bunny will be on site and available for photos. Parking will be available in the fields off of North King Street.

Families can register online or by calling 703-777-1368. The egg hunt will be held rain or shine.

Loudoun United FC will also host an array of events at their home match against the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. Segra Field's Kids Zone will have face painting, photo opportunities with Easter Bunny, a poster making station, and a station to meet the new mascot.

Children aged 4 to 14 can also report to the information table at the main gate at least 15 before kickoff to participate in a pre-match high-five tunnel with the players.

At halftime, kids 12 and under will be able to participate in an egg hunt on the field. Pre-registration is required to save a spot.

After the game, kids can line up to take a penalty kick into the goal. Anyone interested can line up by section 107 after the final whistle. Players will also be available to sign autographs.
