Easter Celebrations
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2019/04 - April
For many of us, Easter marks the unofficial beginning of the Spring season in the mountains.
Easter weekend is a great time to join your friends, families, and neighbors to celebrate this special season. From Easter egg hunts, delicious brunches, and sunrise services, to traditional worship services, you’ll find plentiful opportunities to celebrate this special weekend.
Of course, there are Easter egg hunts for the children. The annual Easter Egg Hunt held at the Highlands Recreation Park is on Saturday, April 20, at 11:00 A.M. The event and parking are free, so by all means bring your own basket and join the fun. Highlands Recreation Park employees ensure that plenty of eggs are hidden and kids under 10 will delight in filling their baskets with brightly colored eggs and treats. It’s an exciting start to the weekend.
For children in the Cashiers area, there’s an Egg Hunt at the Village Green on Saturday, April 20, at 11:00 A.M. as well.
Area churches hold special Holy Week services in addition to their regular services, so be sure to check with the church of your choice to determine their schedules. Additionally, there are several ecumenical opportunities for worship. The Highlands Stations of the Cross begins at noon on Friday, April 19, at Our Lady of The Mountains Catholic Church. The Cashiers event is at the Village Green at 4:00 P.M. Good Friday.
Both communities also offer Easter Morning Sunrise Services beginning at 7:00 A.M. In Cashiers, it’s held at The Village Green. The location in Highlands was still being determined. Your local church and The Highlands Chamber of Commerce will have that information as Easter nears.
Area restaurants will be rolling out their finest Easter Brunch menus, so for a special treat call early for reservations at your favorite restaurant and enjoy the taste
of Spring.
