Inclusive Spring Magic for Every Child

Everybunny Belongs & Summer Camp Fair

A joyful, inclusive spring celebration designed so children of every age, ability and sensory profile can participate, connect and make a little Macaroni KID magic together.

Because Every Bunny Deserves to Belong

Everybunny Belongs began with a simple idea: create an egg hunt where families would not have to wonder whether their child could participate. No child should have to watch the magic from the sidelines because a traditional event moves too quickly, feels too overwhelming or was not designed with their needs in mind.

What began as an inclusive egg hunt has grown into a full community celebration built around accessibility, kindness and connection. The goal is not simply to accommodate children after the event has been planned. It is to consider different needs from the beginning and build an experience where belonging is part of the foundation.

The Village Showed Up in 2026

We planned for 750 people. We hoped for 1,000. More than 1,500 showed up, in approximately 45-degree rain.

Not everything went perfectly. But for every moment of event-day chaos, there were a hundred moments of kindness: children helping other children, parents sharing eggs, teenagers stepping up as Bunny Buddies and strangers becoming neighbors in real time.

1,500+ estimated attendees
30+ participating organizations
4 age-based hunt areas
1 adaptive and sensory-focused hunt

What Makes Everybunny Belongs Different?

Age-Based Hunt Areas

Separate hunt areas help younger children participate without being overwhelmed by much older or faster egg hunters.

Eggceptional Hunt

A dedicated adaptive and sensory-considerate hunt creates additional flexibility for children who benefit from a different pace, setup or level of support.

Bunny Buddies

Youth and adult volunteers can provide encouragement and practical support to children who need a little help navigating the experience.

Sensory & Regulation Support

Calmer spaces, thoughtful activity placement and sensory resources help children regulate, reset and return to the fun when they are ready.

Community Resources

Families can meet local nonprofits, healthcare providers, educators, activity programs and organizations that support children and caregivers throughout the year.

Belonging by Design

Inclusion is not a side activity or special add-on. It is part of how the event is planned, communicated and experienced from the beginning.

Looking Ahead to 2027

The next Everybunny Belongs celebration is being planned with more space, stronger event systems, expanded accessibility resources and everything we learned from the extraordinary 2026 turnout.

Tentatively Thursday, March 25, 2027 Location and final event hours are being confirmed. All details remain subject to change until officially announced.
  • Expanded age-based and adaptive egg-hunt experiences
  • Improved arrival, flow and crowd-management planning
  • Additional sensory and communication supports
  • More space for family activities and community resources
  • Expanded volunteer coordination and Bunny Buddy support
  • A dedicated Summer Camp Fair for families actively planning summer
The 2027 event is still in development. Date, location, event hours, activities, admission, sponsorship inventory, participant capacity and Summer Camp Fair details are preliminary and may change.

New for 2027: Summer Camp Fair

Families are already thinking about summer by the time spring arrives. The planned Summer Camp Fair will give parents an opportunity to meet local programs, ask questions and discover options while enjoying the larger Everybunny Belongs celebration.

For Families

Discover day camps, specialty programs, sports, arts, STEM, educational enrichment, outdoor adventures and other summer options in one family-friendly setting.

For Camp Programs

Meet local families face to face during the heart of camp-planning season and pair your in-person presence with an eligible Summer Camp Guide package.

The Moments That Mattered Most

The biggest moments were easy to see. The quieter ones were the real heart of the day: a teenager placing eggs into a younger child’s basket when they froze, a parent sharing extras so another child would not leave empty-handed and volunteers standing in the rain for hours because they believed every child deserved the experience.
