White House Easter Egg Roll

White House Easter Egg Roll

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.

Travel Tips

As you can imagine, security is pretty intense for this event, so leave the food and beverages, coolers, duffel bags, etc. at home.

The 2024 White House Easter Egg Roll will take place on the South Lawn on Easter Monday, April 1, 2024.

    Do the children need tickets along with the adults? Or does each ticket guarantee one adult and one child. I have two tickets. Does this ensure entrance for me, my husand and my daughter? Or just myself and my daughter?
