Easter egg hunts, happy music and fabulous family brunches will make Easter Weekend bright at Descanso Gardens. The tram and train will be running and thousands of flowers are blooming in celebration of this holiday weekend and of Descanso’s annual Spring Festival of Flowers.
Egg Hunts
Children, armed with baskets and high expectations, will join the popular Easter egg hunt on March 26, every 45 minutes, starting at 9:30 a.m. A chance to grab a basket and join the hunt is $3. Tickets will be sold that morning at 9 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be no egg hunts on Easter Sunday.
Saturday Music
The high energy of the children will be matched by musicians CJ & Katie, who will present novelty and sing-along songs from the jazz age and the 1930s as they meander through the landscape during the afternoon.
Sunday Music
On March 27, award-winning entertainer Joanie Bartels will make musical magic for children and adults with sing-along, dance-along concerts at noon and again at 1:30 p.m. at the Under the Oaks Theater.
Family Buffet
Brunch will be served by Patina both Saturday and Easter Sunday on the hour from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. amid fragrant flowers at the Rose Pavilion.
