NORCROSS, Ga. — Families across Gwinnett County are preparing for a unique and inclusive community event. The City of Norcross announces a special Easter egg hunt. This event is designed specifically for children with special needs.
The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Rossie Brundage Park. It offers a safe and welcoming environment. Here, children of all abilities can join in a holiday tradition tailored to their needs.
The event is focused on accessibility and inclusion. It aims to create meaningful experiences for families. These are families who face challenges participating in traditional egg hunts. This hunt is different from typical large-scale events. It is shorter in duration and more structured. This approach helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to enjoy the activity without feeling overwhelmed.
One of the key features of the event is the availability of adaptive equipment. This includes wheelchair-friendly nets. These features allow children with mobility challenges to fully join. Besides, organizers have incorporated beeping eggs for children who are blind. These eggs help visually impaired children locate them through sound.
Support will also be available for children with hearing impairments. Assistance from community partners will help create a fully inclusive experience. Event organizers emphasized that these accommodations are part of a broader effort. They aim to make certain that no child is left out of the celebration.
The event is free to attend. Still, registration is required. Registration helps organizers plan appropriately and guarantee all participants get the support they need. Once registered, families are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early, as the egg hunt is expected to move quickly.
City officials highlighted the importance of community partnerships in making the event possible. Organizations like the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (IABTI) are collaborating with the Atlanta Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). They are contributing specialized beeping eggs for visually impaired participants.
Local groups are providing extra support. This includes the Spectrum Autism Support Group and the Atlanta International Language Institute. Both groups are helping guarantee accessibility for children with a wide range of needs.
The event will take place at Rossie Brundage Park. It is a well-known community space in Norcross. The park offers open areas suitable for organized activities and family gatherings. Organizers say the location was chosen to give a comfortable and familiar setting for participants.
Families attending can expect a positive and engaging environment. Children can enjoy the excitement of an Easter egg hunt. They will feel supported and included. Community leaders say events like this play an important role in strengthening connections among residents and promoting awareness of inclusivity.
“This event is about making sure every child has the chance to participate and create joyful memories,” organizers noted in their announcement.
Parents and guardians interested in registering their children can do so through the official City of Norcross website.
As anticipation builds, the event is expected to draw families from across the region. This highlights Gwinnett County’s ongoing commitment to inclusive community programming.
