Palm Sunday at Cantigny promises to be a fun time for families, highlighted by an Easter Egg Hunt and brunch buffet in Winfield. Reservations are not required for either event Sunday, March 24.
•Easter Egg Hunt is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..
Hundreds of plastic eggs are scattered in the park for this colorful rain or shine tradition. The format is open house with eggs replenished throughout the day. Participants can redeem five eggs for a prize (one per child). Egg hunters should bring a bag or basket. This is a free activity. Outdoor concessions will be available, including hearty hot sandwiches and a Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar for adults.

Pictures with the Easter Bunny (and his spouse) can be taken in the Visitors Center backyard. Guests will need their own camera.
•Children’s Craft, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..
Kids can decorate a ceramic “puppy bank” in the Medill Room, inside the Visitors Center. ($5 fee applies, while supplies last.)
•“Hop”, 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m.
