Easter Events in Greater Moncton 2025
YOUR 2025 GUIDE TO EASTER EVENTS & ACTIVITIES!
Happy Easter, everyone! Good Friday is April 18, 2025; this is a holiday in New Brunswick, so expect most things to be closed. The Easter Bunny hops on by most local homes on Saturday night, with families waking up to treats on Easter Sunday morning, April 20. Monday, April 21 is a holiday for some – including schools, so get ready for an extra long weekend!
PRO TIP: We’ll keep adding events to this round up as we find them – so be sure to let us know if you’re hosting something we should include & check back often! And remember – check the source links before heading out. We do our best to update as we see changes, but we can’t always catch schedule changes, weather impacts, etc.
