🐰 Downtown Manhattan Beach Easter Egg Hunt

One of the most beloved traditions in the South Bay, the Downtown Manhattan Beach Easter Egg Hunt brings the community together right in the heart of downtown.

  • Typically held the Saturday before Easter
  • Hosted in Live Oak Park and surrounding areas
  • Age-grouped hunts so little ones don’t get trampled
  • Expect a very quick egg grab (it goes fast!)

Pro tip: Arrive early—this is one of the most popular family events of the season.


🐣 South Bay Community Egg Hunts

Many neighboring cities host their own versions, often with added activities like bounce houses and photo ops with the Easter Bunny.

Look out for:

  • Hermosa Beach community events
  • Redondo Beach spring festivals
  • Local school and church-hosted egg hunts throughout the weekend

These tend to feel a bit more low-key than Manhattan Beach’s main event—great if you want something more relaxed.
