Winter sure did fly by, and now it’s Easter! The real start to spring begins this weekend, and hopefully someone will tell the weather that. Either way here are 10 fabulous things to do this weekend to celebrate the holiday with your family.
Easter Egg Hunt
If putting together your own Easter egg hunt for Sunday morning seems like way too much work, don’t fret, towns all over the Cape will be hosting egg hunts this weekend including:
- Centerville Elementary Easter Egg Hunt: At the Centerville Elementary School playground from 10 a.m. to noon March 26 and 27th
- Falmouth Easter Egg Scramble: 10 a.m. on March 26 on the Falmouth Public Library lawn. The Easter Bunny will be there.
- Orleans Annual Easter Egg Hunt: March 26 at Sea Call Farm (Tonset Road, opposite the cemetery) starting at 1 p.m. Be sure to bring your own basket.
Spring Cleaning
What better time to start your spring cleaning than to get the house nice and tidy before all of your relatives come over for Easter dinner?
Easter Brunch
Sit down with the family and have brunch together before or after church. Fry up some eggs or trade in your frying pan for a nice comfy seat at The Barnstable Restaurant and Tavern. They’ll be cooking up a mean three-course brunch from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Easter Sunday for just $18.95.
Dye Eggs
Purchase a dye kit from any supermarket, hard boil some eggs and get to work. It’s a fun but messy activity that kids look forward to every year. Then in the morning crack those bad boys open and make yourself a nice breakfast.
Go See The Easter Bunny
The Easter Bunny will be taking photos and hosting special events at the Cape Cod Mall from now until Saturday March 26. Check their website or call the security desk at (508)-771-0200 to verify hours.
Go See ‘Zootopia’
The latest Disney flick is a family friendly movie that is great for all ages. It follows the struggles of the first bunny to make the police force in the mammal metropolis of Zootopia. Perfect for Easter. If you’d rather watch your Easter movies at home, check out these classics:
“Winnie the Pooh Springtime With Roo” (available on Netflix)
“It’s The Easter Beagle Charlie Brown”
“The Gospel of John” (available on Netflix)
“Angelina Ballerina: Spring Fling” (available on Netflix)
“The Book of Esther” (for older kids, also available on Netflix)
“Curious George Swings Into Spring” (available on Netflix)
“The Prince of Egypt” (available on Netflix)
“Hop” (available on Amazon Video)
DIY Easter Crafts

Go To Church
I know, I know, it may be hard to get up early on your only day off and pull on your Sunday best, but what better way to thank the one this holiday is all about and set a good example for your kids?
Give Back To The Community
Spend the day giving back to the community with your family by volunteering at your local Easter egg hunt or at your church.
Go out to Dinner
Why not skip the entire Easter dinner hassle and just go to a restaurant? Luckily The Barnstable Restaurant and Tavern will be serving a three-course dinner from 12:30 to 6 p.m. Also the Red Pheasant in Dennis will be open for an Easter dinner special from 1 to 5 p.m.
