An egg hunt, the Easter Bunny, live music, activities and games will be featured at the annual Dominion Energy Family Easter at Maymont on Saturday, April 16.

Gates will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the 100-acre estate overlooking the James River at 1000 Westover Road for the free event.

A stage by the Carriage House Lawn fountain will host a lineup of singers, bands, dance troupes and performers. A variety of games and craft activities also will take place in the park, along with a Community Zone featuring public safety representatives and equipment, including local police, fire, emergency medical services and utility departments.

This year, Maymont will have a Golden Egg Hunt by CoStar Group Builds. Participants must go throughout the park solving riddles to find five hidden golden eggs marked with letters. Those who find the eggs can enter to win prizes in drawings to be held each hour.

Families also can purchase $2 activity tickets to enjoy face painting and temporary tattoos, giant inflatable slides, games of skill or chance and a life-size version of the board game Candy Adventure.

There will be Easter bonnet and pinwheel decorating and a parade to show off handiwork.

For every activity ticket redeemed, participants earn a prize-filled egg.

The Maymont Farm also will be open, featuring cows, a donkey and baby animals. The Robins Nature Center also is open, requiring advanced timed reservations. And the Maymont Mansion, which was the home of the Dooley family that left Maymont to the City of Richmond, is open for self-paced audio tours.

The Easter celebration will take place rain or shine.

Meanwhile, the popular Easter on Parade on Monument Avenue has been canceled again this year.

The seasonal showcase of people, pets and bonnets was canceled last year because of the pandemic, but a lack of funding caused this year’s cancellation.

Echelon Event Management, organizer of the long-running event, stated in a Facebook post that they hope to be ready for 2023.
