Best Easter Events in Southern Utah (2026 Guide)

Easter Events Happening Around Southern Utah (2026 Guide)

If your kids already have their baskets ready—or you’re just looking for an excuse to eat candy before noon—Southern Utah has you covered this Easter. From classic egg hunts to full-on festivals with food trucks and baby animals, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate.

Here’s a roundup of some of the best Easter events happening around St. George and nearby areas this season.

Big Community Events You Don’t Want to Miss

Thunder Junction Eggstravaganza (St. George)

Held at Tonaquint Park, this one’s a local favorite—and for good reason.

Instead of one chaotic egg scramble, the Thunder Junction Eggstravaganza turns things into a full experience. Think interactive egg stations, games, dancing, and even a train ride through the park.

It runs April 2–4 and is ticketed, which honestly just means fewer elbows thrown over plastic eggs.

St. George Free Easter Hunt + Market

If you like your Easter with a side of shopping and snacks, this is your move.

The St George Free Easter Hunt + Market includes:

A large egg hunt (10 AM sharp, don’t be late)
Photos with the Easter Bunny
Local vendors
Food trucks and bounce houses

It’s free, family-friendly, and happening at the Dixie Convention Center.

Utah Tech Spring Fest (St. George)

College campus, but make it family-friendly.

The Utah Tech Spring Fest includes a massive kids’ egg hunt (we’re talking 20,000+ eggs), live performances, and activity booths.

📅 April 2
🕕 Egg hunt kicks off around 6 PM

Yes, it’s organized chaos—but the fun kind.

Farm-Style Easter (A Southern Utah Specialty)

Staheli Family Farm “Spring Into Easter” (Washington)

If your ideal Easter includes dirt, animals, and kids running wild—this is it.

The Spring Into Easter Staheli Family Farm offers:

Easter scavenger hunts
Baby animals (arguably the main attraction)
Easter Bunny photos
Tractor rides and even a barn dance

📅 March 27–28

There’s also a special needs-friendly event option, which is a great touch.

Easter Egg Extravaganza at The Farm (Hurricane)

Another farm event, but bigger and more structured.

The Easter Egg Extravaganza The Farm Hurricane runs multiple days:

March 27–28
April 3–4

Includes timed egg hunts, full farm access, and baby animal days. Heads up: tickets are required in advance.

Smaller (But Still Worth It) Family Events

4th Annual Easter Family Event (St. George)

Hosted locally and perfect if you want something a little more low-key.

The 4th Annual Easter Family Event St George includes:

Crafts and games
Egg decorating
Snacks and treats
Photo booth and prizes

Good option if you’ve got younger kids who don’t need the “competitive egg hunt experience.”
