Noblesville Parks Department to hold annual Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by Hare Chevrolet on April 12

The Noblesville Parks Department in partnership with Hare Chevrolet will hold the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 12 at Forest Park Shelter No. 5.

The egg hunt will be for children ages 3 to 10. Festivities will begin at 10 a.m. and include a DJ, airbrush tattoos, business booths, and vehicles from the Noblesville police, fire, and street departments.

The Egg Hunt, which features more than 10,000 eggs, will begin at 11 a.m. sharp. New this year, the hunt will have staggered start times. The 3 and 4 age group will start at 11 a.m., followed by the 5- and 6-year-olds at 11:20 a.m. and the 7- to 10-year-olds at 11:40 a.m. Children under two years old are invited to stop by the Parks and Recreation tent, where goodies will be handed out to the first 50 kids.

“The annual Easter Egg Hunt marks the first community outdoor activity of the year for the Parks and Recreation Department, and we always look forward to seeing families and children enjoying the event, taking photos with the Easter Bunny and having fun in historic Forest Park,” Recreation Program Coordinator Erin Hinshaw said.

No registration is required to participate. The event will be held rain or shine.

Prior to the hunt, the Noblesville Kiwanis Sunrisers will hold a pancake breakfast with all proceeds going to a local charity. The breakfast, which includes pancakes, sausage, and juice, coffee, or milk, will take place from 8 to 10:30 a.m. at Forest Park Inn. Cost is $7 per person with no charge for children 6 and younger.
