Baldwin Park residents are gearing up for a day of celebration and community bonding as the city hosts its annual Spring Fest & Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 19, starting at 9 a.m. at Morgan Park. This event, beloved for its family-friendly activities and festive spirit, is an opportunity for community members of all ages to come together and welcome the spring season.
This year’s Spring Fest is particularly significant as it marks the introduction of several new features, including an inclusive egg hunt designed for children with disabilities — ensuring that the event is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Baldwin Park Mayor Alejandra Avila expressed enthusiasm about the enhancements, emphasizing the event’s role in strengthening community ties.
“This event continues to be one of our most popular community gatherings, and we’re particularly proud to offer an inclusive egg hunt option that ensures all children can participate in the festivities,” Mayor Avila said.
The day will kick off with whimsical attractions such as a new interactive butterfly exhibit, inflatables, and a dedicated bubble zone, capturing the essence of springtime joy. In addition, a professional magic show will dazzle attendees with tricks and illusions, adding to the festive atmosphere.
One of the main attractions, the egg hunt, will begin at 10:45 a.m., featuring over 20,000 eggs scattered in designated areas of Morgan Park. Organizers have also included 32 special golden eggs that offer lucky finders spring baskets filled with goodies. In keeping with the spirit of fairness and fun, parents and spectators are asked to remain outside the hunt areas.
Moreover, the Spring Fest will offer a Bunny Craft Workshop from 9-11 a.m., allowing children to showcase their creativity. For a keepsake memory, photos with the bunny will be available for $5.
Mayor Avila further highlighted the inclusive nature of this year’s festival. “We’ve worked hard to create an inclusive event where everyone can enjoy the festivities,” she said. Indeed, with the new additions and thoughtful planning, the Spring Fest promises not only to be a celebration of the season but also a reflection of the community’s inclusive values.
The entire event, with the exception of the photos, is free to the public. Residents interested in the inclusive egg hunt should register by April 11 by visiting the city’s website or calling the City of Baldwin Park at (626) 813-5245, Ext. 311.
As spring emerges, the Baldwin Park Spring Fest & Egg Hunt presents a perfect opportunity for community members to engage, celebrate, and create lasting memories in the heart of their city.
