Many (many!) Easter egg hunts and events are happening this weekend, and you can also go soak up the early bits of spring at beautiful outdoor locations around town
Families can choose from a myriad of events and activities this week in Champaign-Urbana
All the egg hunts we know of in Champaign-Urbana are in one list for you and we cannot even wrap our heads around how many there are to choose from! It is a busy, busy weekend in chambana. Aside from egg hunts, we are heading into prime spring flower season as the weather warms up. While things are just beginning to green up, you can spot daffodils and other early spring flowers around town. Head to one of our favorite places to enjoy nature, like the Champaign County Forest Preserves or Busey Woods in Urbana. And while we aren’t quite there yet, we will be on “Sakura watch” for the famous cherry blossom trees at Japan House very soon!
