Great Egg Hunt in Trenton

Continuing over a century of Trenton tradition, the Easter Bunny will ride through Trenton on a fire truck, leading up to an egg hunt in the park.

The procession will pass through each of the city’s wards before ending in Cadwalader Park. The Bunny’s travel route starts at Fire Headquarters on Perry Street at 9 am and proceeds along MLK Jr. Boulevard, Clinton Avenue, Hamilton Avenue, Broad Street, Pennington Avenue, Stuyvesant Avenue and Hillvista Boulevard, among others, before reaching Cadwalader Park at approximately 11:15 am.

City residents are invited to greet the Bunny as he drives by.

The Bunny will then kick off the 104th annual Great Egg Hunt in Cadwalader Park at 11:30 am, featuring over 5,000 eggs hidden throughout the park. One “golden egg” in each of three age group categories will earn the finder a new bicycle.

The hunt is open free of charge to all Trenton children up to 12 years of age; must be accompanied by an adult.

Face painting, a petting zoo, games, music and a best dressed contest will also be part of the festivities.

All children at the park will receive a treat from the “Bunny Patrol” (courtesy of Trenton Kiwanis) free of charge.
