Across just six standout gatherings like Annual Easter Egg Hunt, ARL Eggstravaganza, 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Easter Egg Hunt, RISEN Easter 2026, and WDMCC Easter Eggstravaganza!, more than 3,708 locals are signaling that Easter activities in Des Moines start with a basket in hand. With most of the action clustered at 4301 College Ave, 5452 N.E. 22nd St. in northeast Des Moines, and 5515 Mills Civic Pkwy in West Des Moines, you can feel how specific corners of Des Moines have become Easter weekend Des Moines hubs, especially for families who return to the same grounds year after year. If you’ve got kids, these Easter egg hunts in Des Moines are the no-brainer choice; if you’re a couple or a group of friends, anchoring your day around RISEN Easter 2026 and then roaming nearby neighborhoods gives you a reason to cross town. Multi‑gen families will appreciate that Des Moines keeps everything compact but social, so it’s easy to meet relatives at a central spot. However you like to celebrate, Des Moines is clearly leaning into egg hunts as its Easter language, and this is the year to explore it up close. ## Trending Events in Des Moines - **Event Name**: Pop-Up Park Picnic: Couple Date Night (Self-Guided) - Moines Area! - **Description**: Pop-Up Picnic in the Park Couple Date Nights (Self-Guided) Watch sunset with fun digital activities over picnic!About this Eventhttps://youtu.be/3RnPhdEZLII https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/39910940-a67b-11f0-871 - **Venue**: Ashworth Park - Recommended Park Venue or another park choice (YOU MUST USE PDF TICKETS EMAILED FOR EVENT- NO MOBILE APP OR QR CODES ACCEPTED) - **Banner**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8b19ea3b7f07903bff724267014f826eb6b0d9a751815c0432034f6a141e1419-rimg-w612-h408-dc46491c-gmir.jpg?v=1760170882 - **Event Name**: Des Moines Area - Pop Up Picnic Park Date for Couples!
