How we picked these
Folsom and the surrounding Sacramento region has a great mix of community egg hunts and church-hosted events. We focused on events within 20 minutes of Folsom that are family-friendly, have clear schedule information, and are worth getting to.
๐ Folsom Festival of Eggs
Folsom's signature community Easter event, hosted by the City of Folsom Parks & Recreation Department. A well-organized morning with a Bunny Trail for egg collecting, carnival games, live entertainment, vendor displays, and photos with the Easter Bunny. Pancake breakfast available for purchase from local vendors.
โช Bayside Church โ Folsom Campus Easter Events
Bayside Church's Folsom campus typically hosts Easter weekend events including an Easter Carnival with egg hunts, inflatables, games, and family activities. Their Easter weekend (April 18โ19, 2025 pattern) is one of the biggest church-hosted family events in the area. For April 4th specifically, check their current schedule.
โช Bayside Church โ El Dorado Hills Easter Egg Hunt
Bayside Church's El Dorado Hills campus hosts a popular evening egg hunt in their lower parking lot. A great option for families who want to combine an afternoon event with an evening hunt. The church has a large campus with plenty of space for age-divided hunt areas.
๐๏ธ Orangevale & Fair Oaks Community Egg Hunts
The Orangevale and Fair Oaks communities typically host smaller neighborhood egg hunts at local parks. These are often organized by neighborhood associations or community groups. A great low-key alternative if the bigger events are too crowded.
