The event will feature a sensory-friendly Easter egg hunt with more than 10,000 eggs, along with games and activities tailored for children of all abilities. Organizers say the goal is to provide a space where families feel safe, included and celebrated.

“Last year we had over 500 attendees, and we know there are still so many families in our community who don’t know something like this exists for them,” said spokesperson Krystal Chapa.
