First Lady Melania Trump has released details for this year’s White House Easter egg roll, a tradition that dates all the way back to 1878, during Rutherford B. Hayes’s presidency. Hayes allowed a group of children to play their egg rolling game on the White House lawn after a group of them approached the gate with the hopes of doing so. It’s a tradition that has continued over the course of the years, with World Wars I and II interrupting the tradition, as well as food conservation efforts from 1946 to 1952. The event was also suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s event will take place on April 21 on the White House South Lawn. During President Trump’s first term, he and the First Lady would spend Easter Sunday in Mar-a-Lago, where they would attend Easter services at their home church of Bethesda-By-the-Sea and an Easter brunch, before returning to the White House for the Easter Egg Roll. During his first presidency, the couple’s only son, Barron, attended the event, along with a number of the President’s grandchildren. “The president and first lady look forward to continuing this entertaining tradition and making it a truly memorable experience for all,” per a statement from the White House.

Those interested in attending can sign up for the lottery for free from now until March 10, with those selected being notified on March 18. Families with children 13 and under are eligible. Sign ups can be found here. Those interested in volunteering to help with the even can register until March 19 here. The event will include live entertainment, arts and crafts, and, of course, a visit from the Easter Bunny himself.

The event is not without its controversy. PETA released a statement requesting that the president replacing eggs with potatoes due to sky-rocketing egg prices. “With eggs scarce as hen’s teeth and egg prices at an all-time high (and projected to rise 41 percent more this year), this would be a terrific way to put America’s potato farmers first and set a winning example for citizens looking for an affordable, protein-rich option,” wrote PETA president Ingrid Newkirk. The group also pointed out that the event uses around 30,000 eggs, which it called “eggcessive.”  “We urged the previous administration to take a crack at uprooting this Easter tradition, but we have faith that your administration can actually get it done,” wrote Newkirk. “We are standing by to provide the potatoes for the event if that pleases you.”
