SOUTH RIVER, N.J. — The South River Parks & Recreation Department has postponed its Easter Egg Hunt due to inclement weather, pushing the event to Friday, April 18.

Originally scheduled for April 12 at St. Marks Coptic School on Morningside Avenue, the free community event will now begin at 6:00 p.m. with adjusted group times for children based on age.

According to the updated schedule, children ages 3 and under and those in Pre-K and Kindergarten will begin their hunt at 6:00 p.m. Students in grades 1 and 2 will follow at 6:30 p.m., with grades 3 through 5 starting at 6:45 p.m.

The event remains free and open to the public. Organizers encourage attendees to bring their own Easter baskets.

A banner reading “POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER” was added to the original event flyer, signaling the change.

New date and schedule confirmed

The egg hunt will still take place at the same location, and officials have not indicated any further delays. No registration is required to participate.
