On Saturday, April 12, 2025, St. Mary’s County Government’s Department of Recreation & Parks (R&P) will host the 42nd Annual Easter Egg Festival at the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds.
This rain or shine event will be held from 10:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. and is open to the entire community.
The Easter Egg Festival has become a staple of the Southern Maryland community every Spring and many are looking forward to its return this year!
For a $7.00 fee, children can participate in egg hunts, visit with the Easter Bunny and Ms. Cottontail, enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, live animals, and lots of other bunny approved activities.
Live entertainment will be offered by local performing groups as well as a first responder area offering “touch a truck” opportunities. There will be more than 25 local merchandise and information vendors and the option to purchase food from at least 10 different food vendors.
Admission to this event is free but children’s egg hunt tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.stmaryscountymd.gov/easter or at the St. Mary’s County Recreation & Parks main office, Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate on the day of the event, beginning at 10 a.m.
