Egg hunts

West End Assembly of God Epic Egg Hunt. The church at 401 N. Parham Road, east of Short Pump in Henrico, held its Epic Egg Hunt at noon on Saturday, April 4, 2026, the day before Easter. The 2027 date is not out yet. The 2026 format, from the church’s page:

Time (2026) Hunt
11:30 a.m. Check-in opens
Noon Toddlers, 0 to 2
12:10 p.m. Preschool, 3 to 5
12:20 p.m. Kindergarten to second grade
12:30 p.m. Third to fifth grade

Each child gets a color-coded wristband at check-in. The eggs in the field are empty; kids trade them at candy exchange tables, and golden eggs win a prize. The church added inflatables, food trucks and crafts after the hunts. Each hunt lasts a few minutes, so arrive early; the church does not move children into another age group if their wave has finished.

Many Short Pump congregations and homeowners associations hold their own hunts for members and neighbors. Check with your church or HOA. Churches that want their 2027 hunt listed can send us the details.
