Easter On The Green
Written By: Shelby Batchelor- The Village Green | Issue: March 2024
The Village Green embraces both the solemn and the silly during its Holy Week and Easter celebrations.
The Village Green hosts many community events each year that enhance the lifestyle of the Cashiers area for residents and
visitors alike.
Easter Weekend features events that celebrate the hope, renewal, and joy of the Spring holiday.
Cashiers area churches come together to observe the Stations of the Cross at 4:00 P.M. Good Friday, March 29, at The Village Green Commons. The ancient tradition of carrying the cross is a way of remembering how Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha. This walking devotional experience with fourteen readings is open to residents and visitors in the area. It features scripture, prayer, and reflection to recall the events of Good Friday.
The following day, The Village Green host the 13th annual free Easter Egg Hunt for children 11 years and younger at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, March 30.
Children will be divided according to age in three separate areas of the park near the Gazebo at the Cashiers’ crossroads. Please bring your own baskets and cameras! The Easter Bunny will be making a visit for photos and the Literacy Council of Cashiers will be handing out books. The Community Easter Egg Hunt is proudly presented by Landmark Realty Group.
The Cashiers Community Easter Sunrise Service will be the following day at 7:00 A.M., Sunday, March 31, at The Village Green Commons. Celebrate the Resurrection with a service featuring live music, scripture and an uplifting message with the backdrop of a beautiful sunrise over the mountains. Those attending will need to bring a lawn chair. The Village Green looks forward to seeing everyone on Easter Weekend!
The Village Green provides a beautiful, free public space, however The Village Green receives no funds from Jackson County, the state of North Carolina, or the Federal Park System. The Village Green depends solely on contributions to maintain the park, provide an exceptional community building and to continue bringing Cashiers the events and programs we have all come to cherish.
