Childs Park paired age-group egg hunts with live music, prizes and food.

The Pioneer Settlement at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve asked families to bring their own bag or basket and added crafts and games.

Eggcellent Dyes, a natural egg-dyeing class using pantry ingredients, ran Saturday, March 28, 2026, 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve, 1101 Country Club Way S. It cost $5 and needed registration.

All of these were listed on the parks calendar. We will put the 2027 dates here when the city posts them, usually in February.

Church services

Easter services, including sunrise services, are announced by each church. We list them when a St. Petersburg congregation posts its 2027 schedule on its own site; none had by Oct. 10. Churches can send their times through our contact page.

Easter brunch

We list Easter brunch only from a restaurant’s own page or menu, and restaurants usually post Easter menus in March. For year-round brunch spots, see brunch in St. Petersburg.

What is open

Easter is not a city holiday, and the city’s holiday trash schedule has no change for Easter weekend. Sunken Gardens opens at noon on Sundays, according to its visitor page.

What this means for you

  • If the city follows its 2026 pattern, the egg hunts land on the Saturday before Easter; confirm on the parks calendar before you go.
  • The Pioneer Settlement hunt needed registration in 2026; the Walter Fuller Park hunt did not.
  • Bring your own basket.
