Original blog by Tourism Windsor Essex
The Easter Bunny is hopping into town early this year. We’ll barely have time to recover from St. Patrick’s Day and it will be time to decorate some eggs, put together a delicious meal to share with loved ones and fill those Easter baskets to the brim. We’ve put together a list of nine ways to celebrate Easter in Windsor Essex with everything from bunnies to brunch and of course ever-popular Easter baskets! For more fun Easter activities and meals head to our Windsor Essex Easter Guide.
BUNNIES
Move over Santa, the Easter Bunny has come to town! Make a stop to visit our favourite spring friend: the Easter Bunny and grab a souvenir photo to remember the moment. The Easter Bunny is visiting Devonshire Mall and Tecumseh Mall from March 9th to 30th and Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens on Good Friday and Easter Saturday.
The Easter Bunny is coming to town and he’s leaving a trail of eggs for you to find! Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens will feature a mini golf egg guessing game: keep your eyes open for the Easter eggs hidden around the course then submit your guess at the end for a chance to win a Family of 4 Activity Deal. Colasanti’s will also be hosting an Easter Scavenger Hunt from 11am to 2pm on Good Friday and Easter Saturday. Bring your fur baby’s out for their very own Easter Egg Hunt at the National Service Dogs Annual Easter Egg Hunt for Dog taking place Friday March 29th at Malden Park. Check out our Easter Guide for more Easter Egg Hunts in LaSalle and Belle River too!
SEAN KENNEY’S ANIMAL SUPER POWERS EASTER WEEKEND
Time is running out to check out Sean Kenney’s Animal Super Powers at the Event Centre at LaSalle Landing! Bring your bunnies for some family fun on Thursday March 28th from 5pm to 9pm and visit with a stilt walker as he soars above the crowd or Saturday March 30th from 9am to 3pm. Check out the juggler from 12pm to 3pm for your chance to learn some cool juggling tricks! (Please note: the exhibit will be closed on Friday March 29th for Good Friday and Sunday March 31 for Easter Sunday).
Explore the parks and trails that abound in Windsor Essex and see how many bunnies you can spot and be on the look out for signs of spring with birds chirping, trees budding and flowers sprouting!
BRUNCH
Easter Brunch is a favourite tradition for many families and there are several options to enjoy this Easter in Windsor Essex. Make sure to book ahead and book early – they will sell out! Check out your options in our Windsor Essex Easter Guide with classics like the Easter Brunch Buffet at Caesars Windsor, Good Friday Seafood Buffet at Ciociaro Club, Breakfast with the Easter Bunny at St. Clair College Centre for the Arts and Twisted Apron’s Easter Sunday.
The Easter Bunny loves a great meal and Windsor Essex has great local growers and suppliers with everything you need to whip up a delicious feast! Try Ewe Dell Family Farms, Quinlan Farms, Trimble Farms and Dockside Fisheries for your protein needs. Pick up sweet additions from Carolinia Cider Co., The Little Cider Co., Hawksview Honey and Ruscom Maple and to round out your meals grab everything you may need from The Farm House Market, Green Heart Kitchen and Steve Green Foods. Don’t forget to grab dessert from Iron Kettle Commissary and Walkers Fine Candies.
BUNNY’S FAVOURITE WINE PAIRINGS
Pair your Easter meals with the best that EPIC Wineries have to offer: open a bottle of Muscedere Vineyards Meritage to pair with your rack of lamb. The Cabernet Sauvignon from Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery will go perfectly with your Easter Chocolates. Grab the 2020 Pinot Noir from Oxley Estate Winery to go with a serving of ham and don’t forget to start things off with a crisp Rose from Vivace Estate Winery.
BASKETS
Fill your Easter Basket with traditional Polish pisanki by joining in a colourful and fun workshop at Serenity Lavender. They’ll supply everything you need to create gorgeously vibrant eggs to celebrate the season.
What is the perfect addition to an adult’s Easter basket? How about a basket full of brews from one of our local breweries. Try the Purity Pilsener from Walkerville Brewery, The Ford City Cream Ale from Chapter Two Brewing Company, or the Pinky Pledge Raspberry Wheat Ale from Lot 10 Brewing Company.
FLOWERS
No Easter Basket would be complete without a bouquet of spring flowers. Stop in to Anna’s Garden, Home & Wellness for spring flowers like potted hydrangeas and spring bulbs. Cindy’s Home & Garden for spring garden accessories and Colour Pop Flowers has gorgeous bouquets and subscriptions available, sure to brighten any room!
