SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – Get ready to have an egg-cellent time at Megga Hunt, Springfield’s biggest annual egg hunt! Willamalane’s 70th annual Megga Hunt is on Saturday, April 19, 2025, and is open to all ages and abilities. The event will feature a variety of egg hunts, including inclusive and adaptive options. 

All egg hunters need to buy tickets in advance for $6 in-district or $9 out-of-district. Megga Hunt tickets are available now at willamalane.org/megga.

The event will feature Competitive Hunts for children aged two and older, a Toddler Hunt for children ages one and younger, an Inclusive Non-Competitive Hunt for all ages, and an Adaptive Non-Competitive Hunt for all ages. Each hunt offers a unique experience for participants.

“This year marks the 70th Megga Hunt, and it’s a joy to continue this high-energy event that kids and families look forward to year after year,” said Tracy Kribs, Willamalane Program Manager. “We’re excited to offer fun, accessible activities that make lasting memories for Springfield families.”
