On a crisp early-April afternoon in Long Reach, New Brunswick, APRIL 3: Easter Egg Hunt turns a cidery's outdoor lawn into a small, jubilant festival for families. Hosted by Yip Cider, the event offers three 30-minute egg-hunt sessions—12:30 pm, 2:00 pm, and 3:30 pm—so parents can pick a slot that fits naptimes and weekend plans. Each ticket reserves a child’s spot in a focused hunt; beyond the egg scramble, the day spreads into an easygoing celebration with indoor games, optional face painting ($5), and regular visits from the Easter Bunny.
Local flavors anchor the afternoon: Pizza from Beer Bread Restaurant and classic hot dogs are available, along with cider slushies and non-alcoholic Yip Sparkle. Because the event is outdoors, organizers recommend dressing for variable spring weather—layers, rain jackets, and closed-toe shoes keep kids comfortable between activities.
What makes this event stand out in Long Reach is the way a small outdoor producer doubles as a community gathering spot. Yip Cider’s casual family focus turns a simple egg hunt into a place to meet neighbors, introduce children to local foodways, and let little ones run free in a safe, contained space. The schedule’s short, staggered hunts reduce crowding and give kids a clear, goal-oriented experience that keeps attention high and tears low.
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in and find a seat for accompanying adults. Tickets correspond to specific time slots—plan meals around your child’s hunt so you don’t miss the scramble. Face painting is an extra cost; bring cash if you prefer a simple exchange. Organizers provide portable seating and shade options when available, but bringing a blanket or camp chair can make the afternoon more comfortable.
Families traveling to Long Reach can easily combine the hunt with a short scenic drive through New Brunswick’s rural roads or a stop at nearby parks for a longer spring outing. The event’s compact duration makes it an ideal addition to weekend itineraries—introducing travelers to a local cidery, a community-conscious vendor like Beer Bread Restaurant, and a taste of New Brunswick family culture.
Whether you’re a local family or passing through, this Easter Friday celebration is equal parts efficient and joyful: quick hunts, familiar snacks, a visit from the bunny, and a safe place for kids to be kids. Check the booking link to reserve your slot and come ready for fresh air, spirited little races, and the simple pleasure of an outdoor spring festival.
Eager photographers should aim for soft afternoon light; bring a small telephoto for candid child portraits and a wide-angle for group shots. Parking can be limited during peak slots—carpool when possible, and consider combining the visit with a cider tasting on another day to experience Yip Cider.
Each hunt is 30 minutes; tickets reserve a child’s spot in a specific time slot (12:30 pm, 2:00 pm, or 3:30 pm).
Face painting is optional and costs $5 per child according to the event listing.
