Evening Easter-egg hunt to help council

Make sure you have a fresh set of batteries and your Easter egg basket ready, because Newport Beach’s fifth annual Flashlight Egg Hunt is coming up.

From 6:30 to 9 p.m. Friday at Bonita Creek Park, 3010 La Vida, kids 3 to 14 years old will go on a nighttime Easter egg hunt. The festivities will also include seasonal crafts, carnival games, bouncers and more.

Freckles the Bunny may even hop by for a visit.

Food and photos with the bunny will be on sale, with all proceeds from the night’s event benefiting the Newport Beach Youth Council.

Additional parking for the night is available at the Liberty Baptist Church, 1000 Bison Ave. For more information call (949) 644-3151.
