Shake your bunny tail down to San Diego’s hoppiest Easter event, the Easter Bonnet Parade & Hat Contest! Start off this bunny-fest with our creative Hat-Making Workshop with help from nationally renowned Millinery Instructor and Hat Designer, Diana Cavagnaro. Leave the sparkles back at the burrow because we will be providing all the supplies including hats, beads, feathers, glitter and exciting materials to help inspire you and bring out your winning talent. Once you are done with your masterpiece hop on over to the main stage and find your age group for the hat judging contest and parade. No Easter celebration would be complete without an Egg Hunt! Children 2-12 years old will search the Park for over 6,000 eggs filled with M&M’s. Top off your egg-tra special day with participating fun and educational activities. Visit various San Diego Museum exhibits, Sea World’s educators answering questions about marine life, learn about childhood safety by Officer Mark Gregg, from San Diego’s own Highway Patrol and much more.
