BEREA, Ky. — Berea families will have a familiar spring tradition to look forward to this weekend as the Community Easter Egg Hunt at Hurricane’s returns on Sunday, March 29 at 3:00 p.m.
Located at 124 Mini Mall Drive, the event is promising to be a massive draw. Organizers are advertising more than 5,000 hidden eggs, close to $500 in cash-prize eggs, and a festival atmosphere complete with local food trucks and inflatables for the kids.
🌷 A Growing Community Tradition
If this hunt sounds familiar, that is because it is quickly becoming a local spring staple. Organizers are warmly inviting families to “join us once again,” building on the momentum of previous years. With hundreds of people turning out for past hunts, it is easy to see how this has evolved into a highly anticipated community gathering.
The event is hosted by Hurricane Mixed Martial Arts, After School, & Summer Camp-Berea. Thanks to the support of local donors, vendors, and volunteers, the hunt has grown into a true community-wide effort rather than a simple business promotion.
🎉 What to Expect
For families, the appeal is pretty straightforward. It is a local, easily accessible Easter event with a massive egg count, exciting prize eggs, and enough extra activities to make it feel like a true spring festival rather than a quick, five-minute dash across the grass.
For Berea as a whole, it is one more encouraging sign that local groups and businesses continue finding ways to put on events that bring families together in a simple, welcoming way.
The main details are easy to remember: Sunday, March 29, at 3:00 p.m., at Hurricane’s, 124 Mini Mall Drive. If the past turnout is any guide, families may want to arrive early and be ready for a great crowd.
