Surfside Families Turn Out for Spring Egg Hunts and Seasonal Fun

Families across the Town gathered March 28-29 to celebrate the arrival of spring with two Parks and Recreation Department events that brought together residents of all ages for outdoor fun and community connection.

On Saturday, March 28, children and their families enjoyed the “Splash Into Spring: Duck and Egg Hunt” at the Surfside Community Center pool. The event featured a unique twist on the traditional egg hunt, with participants collecting floating eggs and ducks in the water, along with music and interactive activities.

The celebration continued Sunday, March 29, at 96th Street Park with the annual Spring Egg Hunt. Dozens of families filled the park as children searched for colorful eggs, enjoyed music and spent time outdoors with neighbors and friends.

“These events are about creating joyful experiences for our residents and bringing families together in a meaningful way,” said Parks and Recreation Director, Rudy Perez. “It is always rewarding to see the community come out, connect and make memories.”

Both events were free for Surfside residents and reflected the Town’s ongoing commitment to offering accessible, family-friendly programming throughout the year.

The Parks and Recreation Department encourages residents to stay engaged and look ahead to upcoming events planned in celebration of Earth Month in April.

For more information on future programs and events, residents may contact the Parks and Recreation Department at (305) 866-3635.
