Each year, the White House opens up its south lawn for a huge day of family fun. The White House Easter Egg Roll is an annual tradition that dates back to 1878.
The event is for families with children under 12 years old. There is live music, storytelling, and of course the big Easter egg roll. Expect a big crowd if you plan to attend.
If you can’t make it to the event, you can purchase a souvenir egg online at the White House Historical Association website. Each wooden egg is expertly crafted and includes the signatures of the President and First Lady.
Tickets to the event are distributed through an online lottery system. Visit Recreation.gov to apply for the ticket lottery. The 2024 lottery runs from Monday, February 26, 2024 at 12pm ET through Monday, March 4, 2024 at 12pm ET. Winners will be notified via email on Monday, March 11, 2024.
