This morning, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will usher in the White House Easter Egg Roll, a cherished event that has graced the South Lawn for nearly 150 years.
Dating back to 1978, this tradition is not merely an occasion for children to hunt for eggs; it’s a symbol of resilience and continuity in American culture.
This year, the festivities will carry a distinctly patriotic flair, coinciding with the nation’s preparations for a grand celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. According to an announcement from the Office of the First Lady:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – First Lady Melania Trump unveiled the plans for the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll, outlining a plethora of engaging activities set to take place on the South Lawn on Monday, April 21, 2025.
This year’s gathering promises to offer children and families from across the country a delightful day filled with joy, education, and unforgettable experiences. In anticipation of the nationwide festivities surrounding the America250 initiative, participants will have the chance to immerse themselves in history. Children will sign a mini-Declaration of Independence, don costumes as Founding Fathers, and delve into an activity book titled George the Star: An America250 Story.
The President is scheduled to address attendees at approximately 10:30 am, marking the official commencement of the event.
