On a warm and sunny April 19, families gathered at the Smithtown Historical Society for an Easter egg hunt, live music, crafts and a petting zoo.Â
Food trucks parked on the grounds and, during breaks from the scavenger hunt or racing in the mini trucks, children sat in the shade and enjoyed an ice cream. Sheep, ponies, goats and llamas received much attention from the curious children. Adults perused craft booths that vendors set up next to a small stage, where the band Perfect Strangers covered the classics.Â
Children in their Easter best sat next to the Easter bunny and posed for pictures. Bunny ears bobbed across the expansive grounds as children ran from one activity to the next, enjoying the fresh air and Easter festivities.Â

Hundreds attended the Smithtown Historical Society’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday, April 8.
The day included two hunts, music by Paul Graf, visits with the Easter Bunny, arts and crafts, and visits with the farm animals. Children and families also enjoyed pony rides, refreshments and the historical society’s grounds.
The Smithtown Historical Society opened its grounds for a few Easter egg hunts Saturday, April 3.
Partnering with the Smithtown Center for the Smithtown Performing Arts Center, the historical society offered socially-distanced visits with the Easter Bunny, opportunities to pet the animals on the grounds, creating holiday treats with Myra Naseem from Elegant Eating and more.
For two days in a row, Benner’s Farm in East Setauket was filled with holiday joy.
On April 3 and 4, the farm was filled with socially-distanced egg hunts spread out throughout the two days. Children were able to take photos with the Easter Bunny, who sat in a wagon while children sat a few feet in front of him to keep everyone safe.
Benner’s also had vendors on hand at the annual event, and families were able to visit with the farm’s animals.
The rain this past weekend didn’t stop a certain rabbit from dropping off goodies at Benner’s Farm for Three Village and neighboring children.
The farm hosted egg hunt events April 20 and 21, where children found plastic eggs filled with treats and stuffed animals.
Families also were able to visit with the farm’s baby animals, check out crafts from vendors, play on the big swing, walk the trails and take pictures with the Easter Bunny!
St. James R. C. Church in Setauket also hosted its egg hunt April 21 after Easter Sunday morning service.
The Rocky Point-Sound Beach Chamber of Commerce broke the cold day doldrums of early spring, with the new chamber’s Easter Egg Hunt April 6.
Hundreds of kids came out with baskets in hand to hunt for the brightly colored eggs, and a few lucky children who found the silver and golden eggs won special prizes in the form of gift baskets.

On April 1, St. James R.C. Church in Setauket held its annual egg hunt after the 9:30 a.m. Mass. Dressed in their Sunday best, children ran around the church’s lawn hoping to fill their baskets to the brim with colorful plastic eggs filled with goodies.
Northport Village and St. James residents were ready for the Easter Bunny this year, as families and children of all ages came to hunt for eggs, take pictures with the Easter Bunny and play Easter-themed games.
On April 8, Heritage Park in Mount Sinai and Rocketship Park in Rocky Point held their annual egg hunts.
During the sold out event at Heritage Park, children had the chance to take a picture with the Easter Bunny and enjoy refreshments following the hunt.
At Rocketship Park on Hallock Landing Road, children got their face painted and took part in various arts and crafts while listening to music provided by Parties by Ziggy during the event.
