PHOTOS: Hoboken Easter Egg Hunt Draws 4,300 People

Hoboken, NJ – The largest Easter egg hunt in Hoboken “eggs-ceeded” expectations this year.

More than 4,300 people participated in Hoboken Grace Community Church’s annual egg hunt for 2016, according to church organizers.

Families across Hoboken and the waterfront took part in free activities including an Easter egg hunt, a variety of games, pictures with the Easter bunny, face painting, bounce houses and arts and crafts.

“This event gets bigger and bigger each year,” said Chris High, Pastor of Hoboken Grace. “This year, we thought it was time to add a second and we were thrilled for that. The Easter egg hunt allows us to serve and love our community here in Hoboken in a big way and we’re excited to get to do that twice this year.”

The event was held at Mama Johnson Field on fourth and Jackson Streets. More than 200 volunteers from Hoboken Grace Community Church and the local community volunteered to help at the event.
