Vancouver and Lower Mainland Easter Activities in 2026

February 27, 2026

On the Easter weekend there are egg hunts, Easter Brunches, special events at attractions, and other spring-themed holiday activities in the Vancouver region.

In 2026 the long weekend runs from April 3rd (Good Friday) until April 6th (Easter Monday). There are special events between those dates, but also for a while before. Most Easter-themed events and activities finish on Easter Sunday, but some continue until the holiday Monday.

Easter events that continue to operate on the holiday Monday in 2026 include ones at Fantasy Farms, Cultus Lake Adventure Park and the Greater Vancouver Zoo in the Fraser Valley as well as at Capilano Bridge and the Britannia Mine Museum. Easter events also happen at Taves Family Farms and Greendale Acres up until the Sunday, but then continue after that for a few more weeks as part of the Magic of Spring and Sweet Spring flower festivals.

Easter Long Weekend in the Lower Mainland

In 2026 Good Friday is on April 3rd and Easter Monday is on April 6th.

During the Easter long weekend there are a number of family-friendly events. Examples include Easterfest and Magic of Spring at Taves Farm, Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza at Fantasy Farms, and an Easter Egg Hunt at Greendale Acres in Chilliwack. Britannia Mine also has special Easter-themed activities, as do a number of other places.

On the holiday weekend, there is also the Big Easter Run for all ages on the Saturday. Tulip festivals in Abbotsford, Harrison and Chilliwack usually take place around Easter too (although a week or so later this year in some cases because Easter is so early).

See below to learn more about the above and other events that take place in different parts of the Lower Mainland around this time of year.

Tsawwassen and Ladner Easter Activities

Easter events take place in both South Delta and North Delta. In the former, in Tsawwassen, there is the Rotary Club’s annual Pancake Breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt. It takes place on the Saturday of the Easter long weekend between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm at Diefenbaker Park.

The following day, in North Delta, there’s another event for kids and their families. This one takes place on Easter Sunday in Ladner. It involves both a small Easter parade and an egg hunt.

In 2026 the parade in Ladner begins at 1:00 pm at the corner of Delta Street and Bridge Street on April 5th. It proceeds from there down Delta Street to Memorial Park, where the Easter egg hunt takes place. It’s a small parade/procession, but fun for kids.
