Celebrate spring by hopping over to Pasadena’s fifth annual free Egg Bowl on Saturday, April 20, 11 a.m.–3 p.m., at Rose Bowl Stadium. More than 7,000 people are expected to attend and over 80,000 eggs will line the historic field.
There will be three separate egg hunts for children up to 12 years old. The 11:30 a.m. egg hunt is the busiest and most attended of the day. Start times for the other two egg hunts are 12:45 and 2 p.m. No registration is required and admission is free. Take your best egg-hunting basket, or you can purchase a bucket for $3.
Before or after the hunt, hop by the Egg Bowl festival featuring free family games, performances and activities, including a puppet show, arts and crafts, face painting (nominal fees apply), food for sale, and more. Scheduled exhibitors include Armory Center for the Arts, The Huntington Botanical Gardens, Lakeshore Learning Store, Options for Learning, Mission Renaissance Fine Art, PlayLab, Ronald McDonald House, Stratford School, Southern California Children’s Museum, Optima Family Services, New York Life, AM870 the Answer, SCRUBS Giving Society of Huntington Hospital and the Sri Lanka Foundation. Pasadena residents will also be able to register for the city’s Summer Day Camp programs at the Egg Bowl.
