ARIZONA, USA — Easter is hopping closer and closer! Need some “eggcellent” ways to celebrate? Here is a roundup of events in Arizona. 

March 29 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

“No bunny does Easter like Chandler’s Family Easter Celebration,” the City of Chandler’s website says. The event is filled with Easter fun, from collecting eggs and doing crafts to live performances and “egg-citement” for all.
