Easter 2016 at North Beach Village Resort, Sunday, March 27, 2016 (Fort Lauderdale, FL)

Springtime is a great time of year to enjoy the village life. All throughout North Beach Village, the flowers are in bloom, the birds are chirping and the smell of the ocean air is abundant.

Locals and tourists alike are invited to North Beach Village Resort to celebrate Easter, with a variety of family fun activities.

12 p.m.  Village Egg Hunt Bag Decorating: This free, fun filled activity will take place in the courtyard of the Beach Gardens Hotel. Kids (and adults) of all ages are welcome to come and create the Easter egg hunt bag of their dreams.

1 p.m.  Village Egg Hunt:  This year Peter Cottontail will be busy filling eggs with delicious surprises for two free egg hunts.  One egg hunt will be for children under 5 years old and the other for children 5 to 12 years old.  The egg hunts will begin promptly at 1 p.m. at both courtyards.  After the egg hunt, all are invited to the Village Café for a complimentary Easter cookie treat.

1 p.m. – 4 p.m.  Wine & Canvas at Village Design: Love to paint? Join us at North Beach Village Resort’s art galley, Village Design (600 Breakers Ave.) for an afternoon of painting on canvas. Apryl, a local fine artist, will guide participants through engaging step-by-step instruction, with all supplies included. Even those new to painting will have a great time.  The best part is that you can take your artwork with you and leave the cleanup behind! The cost is $35 per person. Seats are limited. Reservations are required.  To register visit bit.ly/villagecanvas
