How the egg scramble works

The egg scramble is ongoing from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or until eggs run out. To keep the scramble fun for all ages, one field will be designated for children ages 6 and over who want to race for their eggs, and an identical one will be for children ages 5 and under. There is also a noncompetitive field for young children, children with special needs, and for families wanting to pose for a photo opportunity.

To avoid lines during the event, $5 activity cards and $5 unlimited fun zone wrist bands can be purchased in advance at city community centers. The cards can be divided among multiple children for all the activities; however, wristbands are per person. Both can be purchased at these locations Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.:

• Calavera Hills Community Center, 2997 Glasgow Drive
• Harding Community Center, 3096 Harding St.
• Stagecoach Community Center, 3420 Camino de los Coches
• Alga Norte Aquatics Center, 6565 Alicante Road
• Pine Avenue Community Center, 3209 Harding St.

Event may modify or cancel due to inclement weather.
