Egg-citing Easter Events in NSB
With a festive atmosphere and fun-filled activities, one of the annual egg hunts is a must-attend event for families visiting New Smyrna Beach during Easter time. It's a fantastic way for families to spend quality time together and connect with the local community while making lasting memories.
I still recall strolling down Flagler Avenue during one of the Great Easter Egg Hunts and seeing kids darting between shops, giggling as they spotted eggs hidden in window displays. Even though I wasn't there to collect stamps myself, the excitement in the air was contagious, and I found myself lingering at each stop just to watch the joy unfold.
The NSB Great Easter Egg Hunt is held from March 18th to April 8th on Flagler Avenue. To participate in the Egg Hunt on Flagler Avenue, individuals can either download or obtain a physical copy of the Egg Hunt Map. They can then walk along Flagler Avenue, searching for hidden Easter eggs placed outside the host locations or in windows, and collect a map stamp from each merchant.
The EDGEfest Easter Eggstravaganza will be held on April 1st at 10 am at Hawks Park Ballfields. At this family-friendly event you can meet the Easter Bunny, there is a kids activity zone, arts & crafts, face painting, and a sensory station. New Smyrna Beach offers a range of Easter egg hunt events and activities that cater to families of all ages, making it the perfect destination for your holiday!
Brunch Spots on Easter Sunday
After the Easter bunny has paid a visit to your New Smyrna Beach rental on Sunday morning, treat your family to a delicious brunch at a local NSB eatery. Plenty of restaurants on the island have special Easter brunch menus with delicious meals.
One Easter Sunday, I found myself at Corkscrew Bar & Grille, tucked into a corner table with a plate of their Crawfish Roll. A local band played soft rock covers just a few feet away, and the combination of live music, friendly chatter, and a perfectly made Bloody Mary created the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay long after the last bite.
Corkscrew Bar & Grille has brunch on Sundays with live music, drinks such as Mimosas and Bloody Marys, and their Sunday special Crawfish Roll. View their full menu here.
Another time, I booked a table at Riverpark Terrace for brunch, and the moment I walked through the garden-style entrance, I felt like I had stumbled into a secret hideaway. The spring air carried hints of jasmine, and between bites of their seasonal menu, I couldn't help but pause to admire how peaceful it felt compared to the busy streets nearby.
Riverpark Terrace also offers Sunday Brunch with their special menu here, call to book a reservation for Easter Sunday. The Baker's Table is a local favorite for brunch with delicious options such as Smoked Salmon Latkes and their Stuffed Challah French Toast with fresh berries. View the Easter brunch menu here. With so many incredible brunch spots available in NSB, which will leave you feeling stuffed this holiday!
