when: 2026. March 6., Friday

On April 4, 2026, Székesfehérvár’s wildly popular Easter kids’ event marks its 26th edition in Zichy Park (Zichy Liget), welcoming children aged 2–12 for a massive, free egg hunt packed with music, dance, a raffle, a bunny meet-and-greet, face painting, and plenty of parent–child games. Nearly 10,000 plastic eggs filled with candy will be hidden and searched for in five age groups. The true message of Easter will also be shared. Entry is free but requires registration. Location: 8000 Székesfehérvár, Zichy Park (Zichy Liget).

When and where to join

The Székesfehérvár Christian Community Association (Székesfehérvári Keresztény Közösség Egyesület, KKE) and Extreme Generation Association (Extrém Generáció Egyesület) invite all children ages 2–12 on Saturday, April 4. Gathering and on-site registration run from 14:00 to 14:45. The stage show, raffle, and egg hunt begin at 15:00, signaled by a clear horn blast. Parent–child “SUPERHEROES” games cap the afternoon from 16:10 to 18:00.

Age groups and the hunt

Close to 10,000 candy-stuffed plastic eggs will be hidden across five zones by age: 2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9, and 10–12. After the stage program and a mic announcement of the rules, children will calmly line up by the color ribbons for their age. No rushing; organizers will wait until everyone reaches the ribbon. Entry into the search areas is allowed only after the horn. Anyone stepping in early will be disqualified.

Registration and the raffle

Registration is mandatory and automatically enters participants in the raffle. Save time by registering online by April 3 at 18:00. Online registrants simply state their registration number at the designated point between 14:00 and 14:45. On-site registration is also available during that window via mobile using posted QR codes.

Stage show and etiquette

The event opens at 15:00 with about 30 minutes of stage entertainment and the raffle. During the show, everyone should gather in front of the stage; do not queue at the hunt areas yet. After the rules are read and permission is given, children line up by age group.

Parents’ role and candy rules

Parents may not enter the hunt zones, except for one accompanying adult in the 2–3 group. Adults must not collect eggs—this includes the youngest group. The candy inside belongs to the children, but the plastic eggs must be returned; otherwise, the hunt can’t be staged next year.

Hidden “treasure” and weather

Each age zone includes one egg containing a slip marked “kincs” (treasure). Finders will be called to the stage to receive a gift pack. In case of bad weather, the event will be postponed. Check the Facebook event on the morning of April 4 to confirm. Organizers reserve the right to change the schedule and program.

Pros
+
Super family-friendly: age-zoned hunts, face painting, bunny meet-and-greet, and parent–child games make it easy to keep kids 2–12 happy
+
Free entry with a big-production vibe (stage show, raffle, nearly 10,000 eggs), so great value for traveling families
+
Székesfehérvár is close to Budapest (about an hour), so it’s an easy day trip for U.S. tourists based in the capital
+
No Hungarian needed for kids to enjoy the hunt; rules are simple, color ribbons guide ages, and staff cues (horn blast) are clear
+
Public transport and driving are straightforward: frequent trains/buses from Budapest, short walk to Zichy Park, or easy car access and parking in a mid-size city
+
Compared with U.S. egg hunts, the scale is huge and well-structured by age, with a European park setting and a fun “treasure” egg twist
+
Known locally and regionally (26th edition), so you’re getting an authentic community event rather than a tourist trap
Cons
Székesfehérvár isn’t a globally famous destination, so first-time visitors may need to research the town and logistics a bit
Registration is mandatory and time-bound; online sign-up deadlines and on-site windows could catch jet-lagged travelers off guard
Messaging includes the religious meaning of Easter; fine for most, but not everyone wants faith elements during travel activities
Weather-dependent with possible postponement, which can be tricky if your itinerary in Hungary is tight
