As Easter approaches, Arizona comes alive with vibrant celebrations. From egg hunts to spring festivals, the Phoenix Valley offers a diverse range of events to make your Easter weekend memorable and magical. Here are some of the best things to do for Easter in Phoenix this year. 

Five Ways to Celebrate Easter in Phoenix

1: Easter Egg Hunts

What would Easter be without a hunt for eggs? Searching for colorful eggs is a fun and memorable experience for all ages! Many local parks, community centers, and businesses around Phoenix will be organizing Easter egg hunts that are fun for the whole family. 

Here are a few Easter egg hunt events to check out around Phoenix, Arizona:

2: Easter Bunny Photo Opportunities

Make some special memories with your little ones by taking photos with the Easter Bunny. This holiday icon will make special appearances all over Arizona in March—from the Reid Park Zoo in Tuscon to the Scottsdale Fashion Square. Book reservations ahead of time to cut down on the wait and ensure you don’t miss out on this magical photo-op.  

3: Easter Brunch

Celebrate spring by indulging in a delightful Easter meal at one of the Valley’s many fine restaurants. Some are even offering special Easter brunch menus, like Phoenix’s Arizona Biltmore and Flint by Baltaire. From traditional feasts to contemporary buffets, there’s something for every palate. Make reservations in advance to secure your spot and savor a delicious Easter experience. 

4: Spring Festivals and Events

There are plenty of local spring festivals and events happening all around the Phoenix Valley over the next couple of months as well. There will be live music, food vendors, arts and crafts, and many other entertaining activities for the whole family. Local festivals are a fantastic way to soak in the festive atmosphere and celebrate spring.
