It’s hard to believe, but Easter is at the end of the month! (Didn’t I just help my preschooler write his name on 18 Valentines?)
Easter comes “early” this year, happening Sunday, March 27, to be exact. Which means that the next several weekends are sure to be packed with Easter egg hunts, visits with The Bunny and all sorts of other spring-themed events!
We scoured the Internet for all the noteworthy Easter events happening around Cincinnati this month*. Without further ado, we present our official 2016 Cincinnati Easter Egg Hunt Guide!
