We love the Easter holiday, not just because it gives us an excuse to eat a lot of chocolate and celebrate springtime, but it’s also a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends!
That’s why we rounded up some of our favorite Easter-themed events going on in the Omaha area this year. Take advantage of the extra time with your loved ones by participating in grand egg-hunts, spending time with the Easter Bunny or enjoying an Easter brunch! Grab your Easter baskets, a camera and, in some cases, your swimsuit and get to celebrating!
