SALEM, Va. – The City of Salem’s annual Easter Egg Hunt is moving to the home of the Salem Red Sox this spring. This year’s free event takes place today, April 9, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Salem Memorial Ballpark.
The egg hunts will start every 15 minutes, with approximately 25 kids and parents participating in each event. The youngest age group, ages 3-4, will hunt for eggs on a special “Mini Fenway Field,” while the other age groups will search for eggs on the main baseball diamond. As always, there is plenty of free parking for the event, and kids are only allowed to hunt eggs in their respective age groups.
