Spring has sprung on Fort Lauderdale Beach! The LOOP (Las Olas Oceanside Park) will swing into the spring season with the 3rd Annual Spring Fling EGGstravaganza. The event will provide a “hole” lot of fun for the whole family to enjoy.
Sponsored in major part by the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Beach Improvement District, attendees are encouraged to bring their baskets, choose between two egg hunts for children of all ages, and recycle their egg hunt eggs into make-and-take pieces of art. Following the hunt, guests can enjoy a special round of Golf with the Bunny, photo ops, the farmers market and entertainment, which include:
Farmer’s Market, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.: Shop and stroll local vendors displaying an eclectic selection of art, clothing, jewelry, home goods, pet supplies, body care and more. Following the egg hunt, local food vendors will have all the makings to purchase all the makings for a picnic to enjoy on the main lawn.
Egg Hunt ‘Scramble,’ 10 a.m. – 11 a.m.: Children 13 and under are encouraged to bring an Easter basket and gather on the water feature at 10 a.m. for The LOOP’s egg hunt countdown.
