Hippity Hoppity Easter Egg Hunt (Town of Cary)

The town’s free egg hunt for ages 3 to 12 is held at the USA Baseball National Training Complex. In 2026, according to the town’s Easter page:

  • Sunday, March 29, 2026, gates open for check-in at 4 p.m., with the hunt at 4:45 p.m.
  • Separate hunt areas for ages 3 to 5, 6 to 9 and 10 to 12, all starting at the same time.
  • A magician, a juggler, a bubble artist and photos with the Easter Bunny before the hunt.
  • Registration required for each child. Residents could register from 9 a.m. Dec. 4, 2025, and nonresidents from 9 a.m. Dec. 18, 2025, on RecTrac. The 2026 hunt filled.
  • Bring your own basket. The town warned of uneven ground and a steep slope at the field entrance, and the hunt goes ahead “sprinkle or shine.”

If the town keeps the same pattern, 2027 registration would open in early December 2026. We will post the dates here when the town does.
