Families across New Castle County are invited to celebrate the season at the Annual Community Egg Hunt hosted by Trinity Community Church. The free event will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the church’s campus at 6580 Lancaster Pike in Hockessin.

The event will offer two identical sessions from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., allowing families to choose the time that works best for them. Registration is required in advance through the church’s event page. Organizers said they are preparing for a large turnout at this year’s event and encourage families to register early. “We are already planning to have over 5,000 people in attendance, and we always say the more the merrier!”

The outdoor egg hunt will feature thousands of candy-filled eggs spread across designated areas organized by age group. Hunt sections are divided for walkers and 3-year-olds with parent guidance, ages 4 to 5 with parent guidance, ages 6 to 8, and ages 9 to 12. The structured format is designed to help children participate safely and comfortably alongside others in their age range.

In addition to the egg hunts, families can expect inflatables, games, and additional activities throughout the afternoon. Food and refreshments will also be available. Some eggs will contain special prize vouchers that can be redeemed following the hunt, adding an extra layer of excitement for participants.

Organizers encourage families to arrive early for check-in. Upon arrival, children will receive wristbands and egg collection bags before heading to their designated hunt area. On-site parking will be available for guests.

The event is open to the entire community and is designed as an outreach opportunity to bring neighbors together in a welcoming and family-friendly environment. Church leaders also invite community members to support the event through volunteering or donations. Those interested can serve on the event team, donate wrapped candy and prizes, or contribute toward larger giveaway items such as bikes and scooters. Financial gifts toward Easter outreach efforts are also accepted through the church.

The Annual Egg Hunt has become a spring tradition for many local families, offering a festive way to celebrate the season while connecting with others in the community. With structured age groups, multiple activity stations, and two session options, the event is expected to draw a strong turnout again this year.
