Attention parents! The President and First Lady have announced that this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on Monday, April 25. This year’s theme “Get Up and Go!” promotes health and wellness. The event will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and, of course, Easter egg rolling.
All of the activities are designed to encourage children to lead healthy and active lives and follow the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” initiative, a national campaign to combat childhood obesity. The White House will open its South Lawn for children aged 12 years and younger and their families.
White House Easter Egg Roll tickets will be distributed through an online lottery system, allowing guests from across the United States to participate in a tradition that dates back to 1878. The lottery will open for entries on March 10 at 12:01 a.m. and close on March 13 at 11:59 p.m. Tickets are free of charge and are non transferable. Full ticketing details can be found at www.whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll.
This may be your family’s lucky chance to hang out with our lovely First Family this Easter.
