Mount Vernon-Lisbon Easter Egg Dash 2021

Area children are invited to take part in the annual Mount Vernon-Lisbon Easter Egg Dash at the Mount Vernon High School Track, located at Palisades Road and Fifth Avenue.

The annual event is collaboration between the City of Mount Vernon Parks and Rec, Hallmark Care Center and Cherry Ridge Independent and Assisted Living, and the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group (CDG).

The Easter Egg Dash is free to all attendees, with more than 5,000 individual plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes. Children will be divided into four categories based on age:

• Ages 0-3 years
• Ages 4-5 years
• Ages 6-7 years
• Games for ages 8 and up

The Easter Egg Dash event is expected to take place outside on the High School Track. In case of rain, that event will be moved to the Middle School gymnasium.
