Easter Egg Roll at the White House

The 2009 Easter Egg Roll on the White House Lawn - a tradition since 1878! According to the Administration, this is the largest public event that has been held at the White House since the Obama's greeted guests in the Blue Room the day after the Inauguration. Today, more than 30,000 families from 45 states are expected to participate.

This year’s theme is Let’s Go Play! Children will be encouraged to lead healthy, active lives and will be able to participate in a wide variety of activities ranging from basketball on the White House court, soccer, a dance floor, yoga, and Double Dutch. The Easter Egg Roll will also feature a reading stage, a music stage – some special guests will perform throughout the day – and a Kids Kitchen where White House and guest chefs will teach kids how to cook easy, energizing snacks and meals.

In addition to all of these activities, 13,000 hard boiled eggs are ready for the traditional Easter Egg Roll and Egg Hunt!
