Easter this year falls on Sunday, March 31st, just a few short days after the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Your military installation is not missing out on celebrations to offer. From brunches to easter egg hunts, there are activities appealing to all ages.
Check out your base MWR, FSS or MCCS for activities like these.

Bases around the world provide unique opportunities to celebrate while enjoying the climate and culture of the local area. Enjoy sumptuous brunches without having to cook or wash dishes, and often showcase local fare. Take the young kids to the library for Storytime and craft time. Even teens, and probably adults, will enjoy the egg hunts that are opening to all ages this year at various bases. Watch your base social media pages of MWR (Navy and Army bases), FSS (Air Force Bases), and MCCS (Marine Corps bases) for local seasonal activities as they begin to post their plans.
