“The Easter Egg Roll is about family, fun, and tradition,” the First Lady said. “And there’s nothing more special than sharing a good book.”
A White House Tradition Since 1878
Started in 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, the Easter Egg Roll is one of the longest-standing traditions at the White House. Each year, children and their families from across the country are invited to celebrate Easter with activities like egg rolling, live music, crafts, and of course, storytime with the First Lady.
A Day to Remember
Photos and videos shared by @FLOTUS on social media showed kids laughing, dancing, and rolling eggs across the lawn in what was truly a day to remember. The 2025 edition of the event lived up to its legacy—bringing joy, unity, and a touch of presidential charm to Easter Sunday.
