It’s the first holiday of the year where the weather is nearly guaranteed to be pleasant. The family comes together, the young ones look for dyed eggs and others filled with candy. The adults drink wine and enjoy one another’s company. It’s a simple holiday. However, there are ways that you can spice it up and make your Easter one to remember. This year, we compiled a list of four cities, all reachable via a cheap bus ticket from iLIKEBUS, that host the best Easter events around. So don’t wait, read on, and travel by bus to your new Easter destination!
Washington, DC
The Easter Egg Roll at the White House is probably the most well known Easter event in the nation. Dating all the way back to 1878, this tradition is maybe the most fun and most significant event for young and old alike. Live music, storytelling, and cooking lessons happen on the South Lawn, featuring some of the nation’s most important political figures. And, of course, the Easter egg hunt, the famous egg roll race, and a visit from the Easter Bunny are all included. This takes place on Easter Monday, so you don’t even have to deviate from your usual plans to attend this incredible event.
New York, NY
You already knew this would be on the list/ New York is the go-to location for any holiday, and Easter is no exception. If you’re the religious sort, mass is held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral all day. This structure is absolutely stunning, one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture out there. Right by the cathedral, the Easter Bonnet Parade is held. This is one of the most unique Easter events, but certainly one of the greatest. Every year, hundreds of people decorate bonnets and hats with Easter-themed decor, from Peeps to Easter grass to even some eggs! Fifth Avenue comes alive on Easter, so come join the fun, or even join in the parade yourself!
Orlando, FL
Walt Disney World is at its peak during Easter! The Epcot Egg-Stravaganza is a favorite. Employees hide oversized eggs, decorated with Disney characters and the themes of their movies, all over the park. Families can hunt through the park for them and receive a prize if they find them all! Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny can be found on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, so take the kids to the park for pictures and an experience that they will never forget.
National Harbor, MD
Just outside of the nation’s capital, National Harbor has some family deals that have to be seen to be believed. The Gaylord National Hotel offers special Easter packages in a partnership with Peeps that provides an Easter egg hunt, a credit to the Peeps store, a credit to the resort itself, and a night’s stay in one of the finest hotels in the nation. The entire area comes alive at night too, so take your family on the area’s famed Ferris wheel and make your night one to remember.
