Annual Egg Hunt Returns to Mayors’ Riverfront Park on April 4

Published on March 19, 2026

Families are invited to celebrate spring at the Annual Egg Hunt at Mayors’ Riverfront Park (251 Mills St) on Saturday, April 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. This free community event, presented by Advia Credit Union with support from the Kalamazoo Growlers, offers an afternoon of egg hunts, games, and family-friendly activities.

The egg hunts will take place on the Soisson-Rapacz-Clason Football/Soccer Field, where colorful eggs will be scattered across the field for children to collect. Two hunts will take place during the event, at 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m., with the field divided into two age groups for each hunt (ages 0–5 and 6–9).

The eggs collected on the field are empty, but children can turn them in after the hunt to receive a bag filled with candy and toys. Some lucky participants will even find a golden egg inside their prize bag, which can be redeemed for a special prize like tickets from the K-Wings, a $25 Erbelli’s gift card, a $25 Art Bayou gift card, Growlers prize bag, Free Attraction Coupons from Zap Zone, or a Kik Pool Family Season Pass.

In addition to the egg hunts, families can enjoy a variety of spring-themed activities including an egg-and-spoon race, sack race, mini golf, and inflatable bounce houses. There will also be craft activities provided by the Kalamazoo Valley Museum and attendees will have an opportunity to take photos with the Bunny and the Kalamazoo Growlers’ mascot Porter.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase during the event. The Kalamazoo Growlers will offer concession stand favorites, and the Coffee Rescue food truck will be on site serving coffee and other beverages.

The Annual Egg Hunt is a seasonal tradition that brings Kalamazoo families together to welcome spring and enjoy outdoor fun at one of the city’s parks.

The event will take place rain or shine. If there are thunderstorms or severe weather, the event will be postponed. Overflow parking will be available at Red Arrow Golf Course. Families are encouraged to arrive early ahead of each egg hunt.
