Get ready for an afternoon of springtime fun. The Pell City Community Easter Egg Hunt is returning for its second year. Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 6, from 3-4:30 p.m. The event will kick off at the center of Lakeside Park to hunt for 10,000 eggs.

Participants are asked to bring their own baskets. Activities will include:

— Easter Bunny meet and greet
— Arts and crafts
— Face painting
— Popcorn and drinks
— Kona Ice
— Bubble activities
— Chalk art
— Displays from the Pell City Fire Department and Pell City Police Department
— Prize eggs
— A designated area for children with special needs will be available

The hunt is a collaborative effort between the city of Pell City and the St. Clair County Ministerial Association. Following a successful event in 2024, the association partnered with the city to bring the Easter egg hunt back to the community.

This heartwarming event is made possible by the dedication of local churches and congregations, including Faith Community Fellowship, Pell City First United Methodist Church, New Life Methodist and Coosa Valley Church of God. It includes the support of more than 60 volunteers lending a hand and additional assistance from Coca-Cola Bottling Company United.

“This event is a collaborative effort by the city and local churches to give back to the children of our community,” said Pell City Civic Center Director and key organizer Valerie Painter. “It’s a perfect opportunity for families to create lasting memories and celebrate the joy of the season.”

In case of rain, the event will take place Saturday, April 19 from 10-11:30 a.m.
