Glen Cove’s Easter Egg Hunt With 15K Eggs Brought Families To Morgan Park

Thousands of eggs, sweet prizes, and a visit from the Easter Bunny bring families together for a beloved tradition.

GLEN COVE, NY — Children raced across Morgan Park in search of 15,000 eggs at an annual Glen Cove Easter egg hunt this weekend.

The City of Glen Cove's Youth Services and Recreation Department hosted its 25th Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 4, welcoming families and community members.

In addition to the hunt, children could enter a raffle to win Henry’s Confectionery chocolate bunnies, and an Easter Bunny even hopped into the event.
