For the sixth year, nearly 20,000 Easter eggs holding prizes will be falling out of a helicopter and dropped onto a field where hundreds of local children will race to pick them up. Yes. The Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop is coming back to Lady’s Island at Beaufort Academy.
On Sunday, March 22nd, the entire community is invited to the school’s campus for the fun.
The Great Helicopter Egg Drop is an Easter Egg Hunt open to the first 1,000 registered children in our community between the ages of 1-12. There will be many golden eggs with great prizes. Organizers ask that you pre-register your children to participate in one of SIX age-specific egg hunts with over 20,000 eggs.
Beaufort Academy puts on the Easter festival and its fun doesn’t stop with just the eggs.
Along with the egg hunt, kids can also enjoy an Unlimited Bounce House Area, Barnyard Petting Zoo, DJ by Sissy the Entertainer, EASTER BUNNY appearance, and there’s also various shopping vendors and a great array of FOOD TRUCKS that will serve lunch, snacks & dessert.
Tickets for the Egg Drop are not available at the door. Parents must pre-register their children at this link.
The event is scheduled from 11am-4pm, and admission to the festival is free to the public, so you can come out and stay for the day. Even if you don’t have kids, you can stop by for lunch, shop with vendors, and watch the egg drop fun.
