Excavators and Easter: The Great Eggs-Cavator Egg Hunt

Bridgeway Station is taking the traditional Easter egg hunt to new heights—literally. The new “Italian-inspired” town center has announced a weekend of festive activities, highlighted by the return of The Great Eggs-Cavator Egg Hunt, presented by Prisma Health, on Saturday, April 4.

In a departure from typical hunts, organizers will use a massive excavator to spread over 15,000 Easter eggs across the lawn, creating a unique spectacle for families in the Golden Strip.

The Great Eggs-Cavator Schedule

To ensure safety and provide an age-appropriate experience for all “hunters,” the event is divided into four specific time slots. Tickets are required for participation in the hunt itself, though the surrounding festivities are open to the public.

• 10:00 AM – 10:20 AM: Ages 0–2

• 10:30 AM – 10:50 AM: Ages 3–4

• 11:00 AM – 11:20 AM: Ages 5–6

• 11:30 AM – 11:50 AM: Ages 7+

Easter Family Fun and Brunch

The excitement continues beyond the egg hunt. From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Bridgeway will host “Easter Family Fun,” a free community event featuring:

• Photos with the Easter Bunny

• Balloon twisting and face painting

• Inflatable bounce houses

• Hippity Hoppity Potato Sack Races (Ages 6 and under at 11:30 AM; Ages 7+ at Noon)

For those looking to make a day of it, Avenue at Bridgeway will host a special Easter Sunday Brunch on April 5 starting at 10:00 AM. Reservations are highly recommended for the brunch, which is expected to be a popular destination for families following local church services.
