Best Easter Egg Hunts in South Bay LA (2026)

Updated March 7, 2026 · 6 min read

Easter Sunday is April 5, 2026, and South Bay is gearing up with egg hunts, bunny photo ops, and spring festivals across every beach city. Whether your little one is a toddler collecting pastel eggs in the grass or a tween racing through a competitive hunt, there's something for every age group.

We're tracking every egg hunt from Manhattan Beach to Torrance. Bookmark this page — we update it as new events get announced.

🥚 Manhattan Beach

Polliwog Park Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday, April 4 · 10:00 AM Polliwog Park

Manhattan Beach's annual egg hunt at Polliwog Park is the can't-miss event for local families. Typically divided into age groups (2-3, 4-5, 6-8), with the hunt kicking off promptly — so arrive early. The park fills up fast. Past years have featured face painting, a petting zoo, and photos with the Easter Bunny.

Free · Ages 2-8 · No registration required

Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair

While not exclusively an egg hunt, the annual Hometown Fair usually lands near Easter weekend and includes Easter-themed activities for kids. Check the city recreation department for 2026 dates.

🐰 Hermosa Beach

Hermosa Beach Community Center Egg Hunt

Saturday, April 4 · 9:30 AM South Park

Hermosa keeps it classic — eggs scattered across South Park, age-grouped waves, and the Easter Bunny making rounds for photos. The vibe is relaxed and very family-friendly. Grab coffee at a Pier Ave cafe afterward.

Free · Ages 1-10

🌊 Redondo Beach

Anderson Park Easter Celebration

Saturday, April 4 · 10:00 AM Anderson Park

Redondo's biggest Easter event combines an egg hunt with carnival games, bounce houses, and craft stations. The hunt areas are separated by age so toddlers aren't competing with kindergartners. Food trucks usually line the parking area.

South Bay Galleria Easter Photos

The Galleria sets up an Easter Bunny photo station starting mid-March through Easter. Walk-ups available but reservations save time. Good rainy-day option if weather doesn't cooperate.

🌸 Torrance

Wilson Park Spring Egg Hunt

Saturday, March 29 · 9:00 AM Wilson Park

Torrance typically runs their egg hunt a week before Easter at Wilson Park. One of the bigger hunts in the South Bay with thousands of eggs. Age groups run in waves every 15 minutes. The park has great playground equipment for after the hunt.

Del Amo Fashion Center Spring Event

Del Amo hosts Easter Bunny photo sessions and sometimes a small indoor egg hunt for younger kids. Check their events page in late March for 2026 details.

✈️ El Segundo

El Segundo Rec Park Easter Event

Saturday, April 4 · 10:00 AM Recreation Park

El Segundo's Recreation and Parks Department puts on a solid egg hunt each year. Small-town feel, well organized, and great for younger kids. Usually includes a craft tent and the bunny for photos.

🎒 What to Bring

Make the most of your Easter morning with these essentials:

📋 Tips for Easter Egg Hunt Success

  • Arrive 20-30 minutes early. The best hunts fill up fast and start on time — no stragglers.
  • Dress in layers. April mornings in the South Bay can start foggy and cool before warming up.
  • Bring your own basket. Some events provide bags, but a basket is more fun and photographs better.
  • Check age groupings. Most hunts divide kids into 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8 age brackets. Know your wave.
  • Plan for parking. Park events at Polliwog and Anderson fill parking lots fast. Street parking or bike riding is smart.
