Easter Eggstravaganza 

"Start your day strolling through the Downtown Mesa Farmers Market, filling your basket with farm-fresh Easter-goodies and egg-ceptional gifts. 

Then, hippity-hoppity down the Main Street bunny trail to hunt for Easter eggs from Center St to Robson (*limit 12 eggs per child). Don't forget to stop in participating shops and restaurants for even more eggs and fun - look for the colorful balloons on their front doors!

Be sure to fuel up on the egg-cellent snacks including cotton candy, popcorn and juice. Kids of all ages can create egg-dorable Easter crafts at the Arts & Crafts station. There's so much to do throughout this eggstra-special day!"
