We are T-Minus 5 days until Easter Festival!
We can't wait to welcome our community back out to the Lawrenceville Elementary Playground as we celebrate the joy of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ together! Over the past few years, Easter Festival has been a gift from our church to those in Lawrenceville and beyond. Free activities, free food, free games, giveaways, and more are just a small part of what makes the Easter Festival so great. The main thing that makes Easter Festival so special is that it is a celebration of the Good News of Jesus' resurrection to defeat death. That is something worth celebrating!!!
As we prepare to welcome you back to Easter Festival this year, we wanted to make sure you have all of the Info-to-Know before you join us! Read below for some frequently asked questions and tips on how to best enjoy Easter Festival.
Parking
Above is a map that outlines the available parking for Easter Festival. We want to say a big thank you to the Lawrenceville Co-Op and Central Baptist Church for allowing us to use their parking lots for this event. Parking at Lawrenceville Elementary School is very limited and we are asking everyone to please reserve the upper parking lot for those who are mobility impaired and parents with strollers.
General parking is available just down the road at the Lawrenceville Co-Op and Central Baptist Church. Our amazing parking team will be out along the road to help guide you to the next available parking spot. Please be patient with our team and other Easter Festival guests when looking for parking. There is limited parking space - especially in the middle of the day.
Activities
All activities should open around 1:00PM at the start of the Easter Festival and will be closing down at 4:00PM. As mentioned before, ALL activities (petting zoo, games, inflatables, face painting, etc.) are completely free of charge. Please be respectful of our volunteers as they do their best to provide a safe environment for your child(ren) to explore the festival.
Food
There will be a number of food & snack options available for FREE at Easter Festival including shaved ice from Pelican's SnoBalls, hot dogs from our LVfirst Men's Ministry, Popcorn, and tiny donuts from our local Scouts troop. These are often some of our longest lines, so don't be afraid to head straight for some of our fun activities first!
Egg Hunt
There are no set times for our Easter Egg Hunt - you are welcome to visit our Egg Hunt at any time during the Easter Festival. Instead of hunting eggs filled with candy, kids will be searching for specific lettered eggs. Once they find the eggs they're looking for, they will bring them to one of our Egg Hunt volunteers to receive a special Easter goodie bag with candy and other Easter goodies! We will have an adapted format for our younger friends to enjoy. Volunteers will be positioned around to answer any questions you may have.
