Those who view this Sunday as Resurrection Day know that it’s time to break out your Sunday best and some white shoes — if you were raised right, you know what I mean — and occupy a pew at church. As most modern congregations have a great
Oh, the Easter memories.
social media presence, a simple search through Facebook events will lead you to a service near you. For example, our neighbors at Fellowship Church (508 Carroll St, 972-471-5700) have Easter services at 9:30am and 11am Sun. You can also stream services or find info on its other campuses in Dallas, Frisco, Grapevine, or Hawkins/Allasco Ranch at FellowshipChurch.com. Easter weekend kicks off at 7pm Fri at Good Friday at the Park at Kylde Warren Park (2012 Woodall Rodgers Fwy, Dallas), featuring a message from Pastor Ed Young, music, kids’ activities, and food trucks. There are free community activities for Easter all over North Texas. There are enough hidden eggs in Fort Worth and Arlington alone that you can just load up the kids, pack some juice boxes, and do your own #EasterEggCrawl Saturday. I’ll sort them out for you by the time of day. Here we go. On the Hunt 10am, Fort Worth: the Easter Egg Hunt & Petting Zoo at First Baptist Church (Trails Campus, 9208 Trammel Davis Rd, 817-282-3628) and Medji Temple #45 Shriner’s Easter Egg Hunt at Sycamore Park (2401 E Rosedale St, @Medji45). 10am, Arlington: Easter Eggstravaganza at All Saints Lutheran Church (4325 SW Green Oaks Blvd, 817-483-1631); Easter Egg Hunt at City Chapel (4015 W I-20, 817-561-1295); and Egg Hunt Extravaganza at Trinity United Methodist Church (1200 W Green Oaks Blvd, 817-274-1345).
Bunny is here to help create those special memories of your terrified children on the lap of a giant furry beast. Good luck with that. Tanger Outlets (15853 N Fwy, 817-464-5400) hosts Spring Photos & Easter Bunny Moments noon-5pm FriSat. For pricing and a time slot, go to LavenderPathways.com. Cabela’s (12901 Cabela Dr, 817-3372410) is doing its annual bunny pics 11am-3pm Sun with packages starting at $15. Reservations are available at Cabelas.com/Easter.
For most adults, Easter means brunch. On Sunday, Lava Cantina also has a live jazz brunch 10am-2pm, featuring an extensive list of from-scratch items served buffet-style. The cost is $29 per adult and $15 for kids (12 years old and under). Plus, there will be a visit from the Easter Bunny. (Read about more Easter Brunch ideas in last week’s Big Ticket at FWWeekly.com or in this issue’s Eats & Drinks section.)
However, the adult fun starts sooner than Sunday. At 5pm Fri, Muy Frio SRF2022-FWWkly-Ad3-7_46x8_41-0318-PRESS.pdf 1 4/5/22 (3613 9:44 AM Margaritas W Vickery Blvd,

While you can’t stay overnight on the grounds of the Scarborough Renaissance Festival (2511 FM 66, Waxahachie, 972938-3247), you may want to book a stay at a Waxahachie hotel or B&B to rest up between Day 1 and Day 2 of the Easter 19Celebration at Scarborough 10am-7pm
Sat-Sun, Apr 16-17. On both days, children can enjoy the Easter Scavenger Hunt throughout the festival grounds at their own pace using a map provided at the gate. Handmade pasta dishes, fresh pastries, turkey legs, Scotch eggs, and “the largest food-on-a-stick selection in Texas” are available for purchase at five food courts and kitchens. Beer and wine tastings are held daily at 12 pubs and taverns. At the Crown Meadow Stage at noon Sun, you are invited to attend the Renaissance Easter Service. Before you board your dog — perhaps with local favorite Doggie Diggs — and head out for an Easter getaway, take them to a celebration just for them this weekend. Head to Raccoon Run Pavilion at the south end of River Legacy Park (701 NW Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington) for the annual Easter Begg Hunt at 1:30pm Sun, Apr 10. The cost is $10 per dog. Preregister at Three Dog Bakery Arlington (817 E Lamar Blvd) or call the shop at 817-795-3165. “We are busy stuffing eggs with treats and raffle tickets for some great prizes!”
