Community Easter Event

Monday, March 25 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Join the EBCI community as we come together at the annual Community Easter Event. Hosted at the historic Old High School site, the event promises an evening filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of Easter cheer!

The highlight of the evening will be the much-loved Easter Egg Hunt, with participants divided into four age groups to ensure everyone has a fair chance at finding those elusive eggs. Starting promptly at 6:00pm, the hunt will kick off with Group 1 (ages 0-3) and continue with subsequent groups until 8:00pm.

In addition to the Egg Hunt, there will be an array of entertainment and activities to keep attendees engaged throughout the evening. From bouncy houses to field day events sponsored by EBCI Tribal Option, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Participants can also capture memorable moments at the selfie stations strategically placed around the venue.

To enhance the event experience and reduce waiting times, organizers are providing the option for early wristband pickup at the Cherokee Welcome Center. Starting Monday, March 18 through Friday, March 22, between 8:00am and 5:00pm, attendees can obtain their wristbands ahead of time. This allows for smoother entry into the festivities on the event day.
