Families in the Northland are invited to welcome the season with a day of festive fun at the Children’s Easter and Spring Party, hosted by Superior Public Museums. The event will take place this Saturday at Fairlawn Mansion, offering a variety of activities designed for children and adults alike.

“This is going to be a really fun community event,” said Jordan Stish, Museum Manager at Superior Public Museums. “We’re hosting crafts, games, prizes, and an Easter egg hunt on the lawn of Fairlawn Mansion. We have over 500 eggs hidden throughout the grounds.”

Fairlawn Mansion will serve as the central hub for the festivities, including a visit from the Easter Bunny, while also highlighting the museum’s sister sites, the SS Meteor and the Old Firehouse Museum, which are set to reopen in May.

“The Easter egg hunt will take place on Fairlawn’s lawn, which offers the perfect space for this kind of event,” Stish said. “We’ll also have information available about our other two museums, which we’re excited to welcome visitors back to soon.”

Admission is designed to be affordable and accessible, children attend for free, and adult tickets are just $5. Tickets can be purchased in advance at superiorpublicmuseums.org, or on-site the day of the event.

Stish shared her personal excitement for the event, particularly the Easter egg hunt.

“I’m especially looking forward to that part,” she said. “I stuffed all of the eggs myself — we’ve hidden some great surprises, including free ice cream tokens from Culver’s and plenty of candy. It’s been a lot of fun planning the hiding spots, even without the help of the Easter Bunny!”

With activities designed for all ages, the Children’s Easter and Spring Party promises a memorable outing for families across the Northland.
