Nothing quite says spring until you have enjoyed one of the few spring holidays coming up. If there is one holiday that most families will find some way to celebrate it is Easter. No matter if you enjoy it as a religious experience or as a family friendly event, Easter always seems to be a major holiday across the country. This spring, come experience your Easter holiday with us over in Donner Lake. You will find local events and activities surrounding the weekend for the whole family to enjoy. Here are the top ways to celebrate Easter this year in Donner Lake:
Easter Eggstravaganza
The spring season looks quite a bit different here in Donner Lake. The area’s higher elevation and local mountains maintain a colder season than other parts of the country. That means the kids will be able to experience the typical Easter egg hunts a bit different in the snow. Don’t miss out on one of the many Easter egg hunts taking place in the area including Easter Eggstravaganza. This annual event is hosted by The Lodge Restaurant and Pub for activities for all ages. As the name suggests, there will be quite a few Easter eggs on hand for the event. Children ages 12 and under will be able to enjoy an Easter egg hunt where hundreds of eggs are hidden on their pavilion. Participants are required to bring their own Easter egg basket. After the hunting fun, children will be able to enjoy other activities as well including face painting and more. This is a free event to attend so make sure the whole family is ready to enjoy Easter Eggstravaganza taking place on Easter Sunday April 20th.
Spring Egg Hunt
Another exciting Easter egg hunt taking place in the area is the annual Spring Egg Hunt. This annual event is another great opportunity for kids to get outdoors and search for all the Easter eggs they can muster up. This event is held at Truckee River Regional Park, making it close to our properties here at Donner Lake. The event kicks off with a visit from the Easter Bunny himself at 11:00 AM who will greet everyone and take photos with families who would like them. The Easter egg hunt will start shortly after at 11:30 AM. Kids will be able to explore the typically snow-covered park for these colorful eggs that will put a smile on their face. Thousands of eggs will be hidden giving everyone the opportunity to find as many as possible. In addition to the Easter egg hunt the children will also be able to enjoy the Egg Dive. The Truckee Community Pool was added to the park a few years back, providing an indoor pool space perfect for the colder weather. Children can jump into the water and collect additional eggs that are floating about. The Egg Dive will take place at 1:30 PM giving the kids a little break between the egg hunt and dive. The Spring Egg Hunt is expected to take place on Saturday April 19th just in time for Easter 2025.
