The City of Salem’s annual Easter Egg Hunt is moving to the home of the Salem Red Sox this spring. This year’s free event will take place on the Salem Memorial Ballpark playing surface on Wednesday, April 9, from 6-8 p.m. Once again, the egg hunts will be spread out to ensure that all children have a fair chance to participate. The hunts will start every 15 minutes with approximately 25 kids and parents in each event.
The youngest age group (3-4) will hunt for eggs on a special “Mini Fenway Field” while the other age groups will search for eggs on the main baseball diamond. As always, there is plenty of free parking for the event.
Kids are only allowed to hunt eggs in their respective age group. Parents may enter the hunt area with their child, but only the children can collect the eggs.
Vendors that will be on-site include Creative Expressions Face Painting, Little Critters Petting Zoo, Salem Fire & EMS, Salem Rescue Squad, Whimsical Wishes Character Experiences, MousePros Travel Agency, the Easter Bunny, inflatables, crafts and balloon animals.
There will be Stadium Concessions and offerings from the Coffee Bus.
The event is rain or shine at Salem Memorial Ballpark, 1008 Texas Street.
