Spring Festival & Eggstravaganza: Easter Fun in Freeport
Winter is over, the azaleas are blooming, and Freeport is ready to celebrate spring the way any good Southern town should — with an egg hunt, games, and enough sugar to keep the kids bouncing until bedtime.
The Spring Festival & Eggstravaganza
The City of Freeport’s annual Spring Festival is a family-friendly event that typically takes place in March or April, timed around the Easter season. The city hasn’t announced the 2027 dates yet, but based on past events, expect it to land on a Saturday morning at a local park or community space.
What to Expect
Egg Hunts: The main event. Multiple age groups, thousands of eggs, and kids with baskets running like their lives depend on it. Pro tip: get there early and scope out the boundaries before the starting whistle.
Games & Activities: Face painting, bounce houses, carnival-style games, and crafts. The city usually partners with local churches and organizations to put on a full morning of entertainment.
Photos with the Easter Bunny: Bring your camera. The bunny makes an appearance, and the line for photos moves faster than you’d think.
Food & Treats: Vendors or volunteer groups usually sell snacks, drinks, and maybe some breakfast items. Nothing fancy — just good festival food to fuel the egg-hunting.
For Families
- Bring a basket or bag for egg collecting
- Arrive 15-20 minutes early to find parking and get oriented
- Apply sunscreen — spring in Florida is already full sun
- Don’t forget your camera for the bunny photos
- Dress the kids in something you don’t mind getting grass-stained
How to Stay in the Loop
The city will announce the 2027 Spring Festival date on their events page and Facebook. Mark your calendar once it’s posted — this one fills up fast.
