South Fayette's Free 'Bunny Hop' Hops to Farmers Market April 2 | The Locally Times
The free 'Bunny Hop' event shifts to the Original Farmers Market for April 2, featuring a ticketed egg hunt and entertainment. Non-resident registration for remaining spots opens Monday.
Spring is officially hopping into South Fayette! The Township's popular, free 'Bunny Hop' event returns April 2, promising an egg hunt, entertainment, and a visit from the Easter Bunny – all at a brand-new, location. Set for 12 PM to 4 PM at the Original Farmers Market, this community-focused event requires advance registration for each child aged 12 and under to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. ## Fresh Fields for Festive Fun The 'Bunny Hop' is making a fresh start this year, moving to the Original Farmers Market at 151 Parks Road, South Fayette PA 15057. As The Locally Times previously reported, this strategic relocation, confirmed by the Township's March 12 announcement, promises a vibrant new backdrop for the popular event. From 12 PM to 4 PM on Thursday, April 2, the market will transform into a hub of springtime joy, featuring the beloved egg hunt for children 12 and under, live entertainment, music, character meet-and-greets, local vendors, and, of course, the Easter Bunny. The larger, open-air setting is expected to provide more space and a richer experience for families, making the event more accessible and engaging. ## Secure Your Spot: Resident Priority Registration To ensure a smooth and safe experience, advance registration is mandatory for each child aged 12 and under participating in the free 'Bunny Hop.' One free, time-slotted ticket per child is required via Eventbrite; adults and older children do not need tickets. This system prioritizes South Fayette families, with resident registration having opened on Thursday, March 12, at 11 AM. By managing attendance through timed tickets, the Township can effectively control crowd flow, allocate resources, and guarantee a fun, secure environment for all young participants. ## Non-Residents Welcome: Registration Opens Monday Good news for families beyond South Fayette: registration for any remaining 'Bunny Hop' tickets opens to non-residents this Monday, March 30. This inclusive move extends the springtime joy to neighboring communities, inviting more children to experience the egg hunt, entertainment, and Easter Bunny visit. The event's free admission and organized structure underscore the Township's dedication to providing engaging, accessible activities that strengthen community ties across the region. ## Bunny Hop at a Glance **What:** Free 'Bunny Hop' event with egg hunt (prizes!), entertainment, music, characters, vendors, and the Easter Bunny. **Who:** Children aged 12 and under (adults/older children do not need tickets). **When:** Thursday, April 2, 2026, 12 PM - 4 PM. **Where:** Original Farmers Market, 151 Parks Road, South Fayette PA 15057. **How to Register:** Advance registration required via Eventbrite (one free, time-slotted ticket per child). **Non-Resident Registration:** Opens Monday, March 30, 2026, for any remaining tickets.
