Royal Oak's Grant Park will be hosting its annual Easter Egg hunt. Children can also have their photos taken with the Easter Bunny, play games, and find the Easter Eggs that have been hidden in the park. Grant Park is located on E. Irving Ave. between 5th and 6th Street, just south of downtown. If you'd like to take a stroll through the park on Easter Day (April 5), that would be a nice way to spend the day as well.

Date: April 5, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
