Enjoy a safe and socially distanced Easter at fun-filled events in Greater Miami
Easter takes place Sunday, April 4, this year, so it’s time to make plans. Holiday activities may be different with COVID-19 precautions still in effect, but there are plenty of ways for families to enjoy a safe, fun and socially distanced Easter weekend. Your excellent options include outdoor brunches, virtual egg hunts and a drive-through Easter Bunny experience or even opt for a weekend in opulence. Here are some of the best ways to celebrate Easter in Greater Miami.

Participants who scan all 12 codes receive a prize of eco-friendly eggs filled with treats. If you’re feeling extra festive, you can purchase a Springtastic basket with more Easter eggs, a souvenir cup, animal feeding tickets, sunglasses and other goodies.
