Easter 2025 events start this weekend: It’s BYO-Baskets for egg hunts in South Florida

Eggs are a delicate subject these days as prices continue to rise, which means dyeing them may be out of your Easter activity budget this season.

But another time-honored holiday tradition rolls on here in South Florida: No real eggs? No problem! Egg hunts are back!

Cities, businesses and organizations are ready to throw out thousands of colorful plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes onto a lush, green lawn near you. Just BYOB (bring your own basket) to scoop them up wherever they may be — a golf course, athletic fields, parks, community centers, shopping plazas and even at an aquatic facility — during free or low-cost, family friendly spring events this month. (Adults and teens can get have some egg-citing adventures too!)

Here’s everything you need to know before you pop on your Easter bonnet and head over to an egg hunt in Broward or Palm Beach counties.
