Easter Egg Roll

The White House's south lawn is home to this yearly children's event.  Taking place most Easter Sundays, the Easter Egg Roll is a long tradition in Washington.  Tickets for the Roll are required, and can be picked up for free the Saturday of the weekend before Easter from the Ellipse Visitor Pavilion on 15th and E Streets, NW.  Other free children's events, such as a petting zoo usually take place outside the White House gates on the Ellipse, and do not require tickets.
