The Waterbury Rotary Club hosts its annual Easter Parade and Egg Hunt this Saturday, March 30.

The Rotary Easter Bunnies will meet families in front of Brookside Primary School for the parade. It starts at 10:30 a.m., heading down Stowe Street to Main Street, to Park Row and ending at Pilgrim Park. 

Wear good walking boots, bring wagons, wear Easter bonnets, and bring empty baskets or bags with good handles to collect eggs. 

The egg hunt will take place at 11 a.m. following the parade and is for children ages 10 and under. There will be plastic eggs stuffed with candy in sections marked off by age group. Organizers ask that participants leave pets at home. 

The forecast looks good, but dress for whatever the weather as the event will be held, sunshine, rain, or snow.
