Hoboken Church’s Easter Egg Hunt Draws 5000 Registrants (PHOTOS)

HOBOKEN, NJ — For the second year in a row the “largest Easter egg hunt in Hoboken” exceeded expectations, with more than 5,000 registrations, organizers said.

The annual event at Hoboken Grace Community Church featured two hunts and brought families together from across the city and the waterfront to participate in free activities, including the Easter egg hunt, games, pictures with the Easter bunny, face painting and arts and crafts.

The event was held at Mama Johnson Field on Fourth and Jackson Streets. More than 200 volunteers from Hoboken Grace and the local community volunteered to make the event a reality, organizers said.

“This event gets bigger and bigger each year,” said Chris High, Pastor of Hoboken Grace. “Everywhere you look people are smiling and having a great time,” said Chris High, Pastor of Hoboken Grace. “We’re already excited for next year’s hunts.”
