The 2026 Inclusive Community Easter Egg Hunt Has a Home
We are officially planting our eggs at The Vineyard at Hershey, our Hosting Sponsor for 2026. If you have ever tried to herd excited children with baskets while also keeping the vibe joyful and the logistics sane, you already know why this matters.
Last year we hoped for 25 kids. 500 came. This year, we are doing it with more space, more intention, and more accessibility so every child can join the magic.
Promoted across Harrisburg, Carlisle, and Hershey. One event. One huge day. One very grateful village.
Sponsor the 2026 Inclusive Community Easter Egg Hunt
There are two kinds of community events. The ones that quietly happen… and the ones that accidentally become the thing everyone talks about for the next six weeks.
Last year, we planned a sweet little egg hunt. We were aiming for 25 kids. We got 500. We learned a lot. Chief among those lessons: families are hungry for inclusive, joyful, well-run community magic, and when you build it with love, they will come with baskets.
This year, we are planning with more space, more structure, and more accessibility so every child can participate in a way that works for them. And we are inviting a few amazing local brands to be part of the story families will actually remember.

Hosting Sponsor
The Vineyard at Hershey
We are thrilled to partner with The Vineyard at Hershey as the official Hosting Sponsor for 2026. This means more room to spread out, more room to breathe, and more room for all the little humans who show up with big feelings and bigger baskets.
Watch Last Year’s Vibes
If you need a visual for “this got real, fast,” here you go.
Expected attendance: 600–800+ children and parents
Tentative schedule: Opens at 12:00 PM. Egg hunt begins at 1:00 PM sharp. Festival and resource fair run until 3.
Why Sponsor
This is not passive advertising. This is your brand inside a memory. Families remember the businesses that helped make the day run, the ones that showed up, and the ones who made their kid feel seen.
High-intent families: Parents actively looking for kid-friendly experiences and trusted local businesses
Extended visibility: Promotion before the event, engagement on event day, and recap content after
Community goodwill: Alignment with inclusion, accessibility, and real family connection
Photo-worthy moments: Families share what they love. Your brand can be part of that.
Sponsorship Opportunities
These sponsorships help create a calm, joyful, accessible experience for families. They support the things parents notice. The moments kids remember. And the behind-the-scenes details that make a big day work for every child.
All sponsorships include table or tent space at the egg hunt.
