News List Posted on January 30, 2026

Valparaiso, IN – Valpo Parks is proud to announce a new partnership with the Mom’s Club of Valparaiso, IN to carry on the community’s cherished Annual Easter Egg Hunt, a springtime tradition that has brought joy to local families for more than 25 years.

After a quarter century of organizing and hosting the event, the Mom’s Club of Valparaiso, IN is officially passing the baton to Valpo Parks, ensuring its continued success. Valpo Parks is honored to take on the event while working closely with the Mom’s Club to preserve the spirit, excitement, and family-friendly atmosphere the community has come to love.

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, March 14, at Central Park Plaza and is open to children ages 2–8. Families can look forward to a fun-filled day featuring food trucks, a DJ, face painters, bounce houses, photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, and—of course—the highly anticipated egg hunt held under the Urschel Pavilion.

“We are incredibly proud of the Easter Egg Hunt and the memories it has created for families over the past 25 years,” said Chelsea Huff of the Mom’s Club of Valparaiso, IN. “Passing this tradition on to Valpo Parks gives us confidence that the event will continue to grow while staying true to the values of community, family, and fun that inspired it from the very beginning.”

“We are grateful for the trust the Mom’s Club of Valparaiso, IN has placed in us,” said Valpo Parks Director Kevin Nuppnau. “Their dedication laid the foundation for a truly special event, and we’re excited to build on that legacy.”
