Hop into Easter this year with Ocean City’s Easter Fun Fair and Art and Craft Show.

FILE IMAGE: Kids participate in the Easter egg hunt during Easter Kid's Fun Fair at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City. This year's event happens March 30-31, 2018.

The event will be held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on Friday, March 30, and Saturday, March 31.

More than just an Easter egg hunt, the event also brings together more than 50 vendors, from local businesses and nonprofits to artists and performers. Check out vendors including Salty Water Woodworking for custom woodwork and designs, or visit Randalia Bee Hives for award-winning local honey.

It’s an event for the whole family, with a variety of games, activities and entertainment available for all ages. Visitors can climb their way up a rock wall or take their time making sand art.

Children will have the chance to meet Beany the Easter Bunny and race along to find all the hidden eggs during the egg hunt. Multiple Easter egg hunts will be held throughout the two-day event.
