Spring Festivities

Celebrate spring, renewal, the natural world, and family and community togetherness with a new twist on cherished traditions. Gather your family, friends and neighbors and join us for citywide “treasure hunt” for all, an egg hunt, a Spring Kickoff for the kids, and other surprises and events throughout City parks. Then come together with the whole community for a spring festival with family activities, rides on a fire engine, photos with the big bunny, and related attractions. All spring events are free.
