Saturday in Raleigh – City Of Raleigh – Edition Relax, Rally, and Hunt for Eggs

If you’re wondering what to do this weekend, Raleigh’s got your Saturday all mapped out—literally and figuratively. April 12 is shaping up to be the kind of day where the sun is shining (we hope), the kids are giggling, and everyone’s just vibing with that springtime energy. Here’s a laid-back look at what’s going on in the city:

Mordecai Egg Hunt – 10 a.m.

Start your morning with a little adventure! Head over to the historic Mordecai site where Parks, Recreation, and Athletics is hosting a classic egg hunt. It’s perfect for the kiddos (and let’s be real, fun for the adults watching them scramble for those colorful prizes). Bring a basket and maybe a little competitive spirit—those eggs don’t find themselves!

Egg-stravagant Basket Giveaway – 11 a.m.

Right after the hunt, make your way to the next event hosted by Community Engagement. At 11 a.m., it’s all about giving back with the Egg-stravagant Basket Giveaway. Whether you’re picking up a basket for your child or just love seeing the community come together, this one’s worth checking out. And who doesn’t love a free basket filled with surprises?

Family Fun Day – MAPS – 11 a.m.

And the fun keeps rolling with Family Fun Day at the same time. It’s hosted again by Parks, Recreation, and Athletics, and this time the theme is MAPS—so expect some cool activities that’ll have your whole crew engaged. Think games, crafts, maybe even a little learning disguised as fun.
