After a two-year hiatus due to concerns over the spread of Covid-19, the White House Easter Egg Roll is set to take place April 18, according to a release from the White House.
The Easter Egg Roll is the most popular publicly attended annual event hosted by the White House, which welcomes thousands of people over the course of the day to participate in festivities on the South Lawn. It's a tradition that's been observed nearly every year since 1878, the most recent exceptions being 2020 and 2021, when first ladies Melania Trump and Jill Biden, respectively, opted to cancel the event in light of the global coronavirus pandemic.
However, as the country grappled with the spread of Covid-19, the"People's House" has also been relatively subdued -- public tours were postponed, the annual Halloween festivities canceled and holiday parties, of which there are typically several dozen during the month of December, were dramatically scaled back.Thursday's Easter Egg Roll announcement also included news of rescheduled Spring Garden Tours, which are free and open to members of the public.
