March 18, 2026 — Families are invited to hop on over to Canatara Park on Saturday, April 4, 2026 for some free family fun as Easter in the Park returns for another year.
Held in partnership with the Seaway Kiwanis, Easter in the Park will run from 9 a.m. to noon in the area near the Children’s Animal Farm.
The main event, as in years past, will be the annual Easter Egg Hunt, with kids scouring the ground for coloured eggs that they can exchange for a treat. Participants are reminded to bring their own basket. The hunt takes place at 10 a.m., with separate areas for children aged 4 and under alongside those with accessibility needs; 5 to 7; and 8 plus.
“Easter in the Park is more than just the kick off to our annual events lineup, it is such a valued tradition for families in our community, and one we are excited to be hosting for another year,” said Recreation Coordinator Rebecca Warren.
The fun doesn’t stop with the dash to gather eggs either. Long-running attractions such as a visit from the Easter Bunny, balloon twisting, inflatables, Bella Magic shows, Children’s Choo Choo Train rides (weather permitting) and the opportunity to tour the Animal Farm will all return.
New this year attendees can join the Lambton County Library for storytimes with a spring-themed tale or check out a new play area for toddlers featuring large soft blocks, crawling tunnels, and climbing activities.
