We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of North County San Diego Easter Egg Hunts, Easter Brunches and Easter Events. We showcase Easter Events and Easter Egg Hunts in San Marcos, Carlsbad, Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, Encinitas, Del Mar, Valley Center, Rancho Bernardo, Solana Beach, Fallbrook, Poway and Scripps Ranch. Some of these Easter activities begin as early as week before Easter, some the day before easter, and some on Easter day. Most events occur on the day before Easter. Some of the events are free, and you just show up, some cost money and require you to sign up in advance.
If you would like us to add a 2016 North County Easter Egg Hunt that is not in our list, please contact us at easter@santafehillssanmarcos.com.
