Easter Events in Greater Moncton (2026) – Egg Hunts, Family Activities & Things to Do
Easter Weekend & More in Greater Moncton (2026)
Happy Easter, everyone! Looking for Easter events in Greater Moncton? This guide features egg hunts, family-friendly activities, and seasonal events happening in Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, and surrounding communities – as well as crafts & recipes you can try at home!
Good Friday is April 3, 2026; 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 5. Monday, April 6 is a holiday for some – including schools, so get ready for an extra long Easter weekend in Greater Moncton!
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. Pickle Planet Moncton curates seasonal guides to help families find the best events and activities happening in Greater Moncton; we’ve been doing this since 2015 & we’re thrilled you’re here!
