Sunrise Service at The Flower Fields presented by The Fields Church

Looking for a religious way to spend the Easter holiday may seem like an easy task since most churches or religious centers create multiple services to accommodate the influx of churchgoers. However, attempting to decipher which service is best for you and your loved ones can be a daunting decision. Your quest to find the perfect church service may be simplified if you consider going outside to the blooming Carlsbad Flower Fields for their sunrise service. The Fields Church will be hosting for the 12^th year in a row at the fields on March 27^th.

An early worship service followed by an Easter message will take place in the fields amidst the beauty of the flowers. And where better to celebrate the spring holiday than surrounded by gorgeous blooming flowers at sunrise? The service will start promptly at 6:30am, and guests are encouraged to dress warmly and be ready to sing and partake in service. After the service, the congregation will be treated to a free breakfast.

Easter Champagne Brunch Cruises

Are your kids all grown up and the Easter egg hunt just isn't right for your family anymore? If you’re looking for a more adult, relaxing Easter celebration this year, then brunch aboard a cruise might be more your speed. So ditch the Easter egg hunt and climb aboard one of the Hornblower’s Easter Champagne Brunch Cruises.

Enjoy the holiday on a cruise around the San Diego Bay, soaking up the sun and sights. As you tour the city, your brunch will consist of your breakfast favorites, endless champagne, and decadent desserts. Treat yourself to these classic brunch foods along with the pleasure of sailing away for the afternoon. To keep the Easter holiday spirit alive, themed brunch items and even the Easter Bunny himself will make an appearance and will happily take pictures with passengers. You have two opportunities to partake in brunch this Easter. On Sunday, March 27^th, with an 11am-1pm brunch, and then a 12pm-2pm cruise for those who want to sleep in that morning.

Easter Bunny Teas

To continue the streak of untraditional Easter holiday events, this next occasion might be reminiscent of your childhood play. Celebrating Easter in a tasteful way, the Westgate Hotel will be hosting a tea party! Traditional European Afternoon Tea will be served along with dainty pastries and tea favorites that even the kids will enjoy. This classic practice may be enjoyable for adults as well as children, introducing them to something they might not have ever done before, let alone with the Easter Bunny in tow!

You can take advantage of the Westgate’s Easter holiday activities on two dates: Friday, March 25^th and Saturday, March 26^th. Festivities will begin at 2:30pm and conclude around 5pm each day, jam-packed with amusement for the whole family.

For children, a fun Easter egg hunt will take place on the Riviera Terrace. Afterwards, a magician will give a performance to families. Later, the Easter Bunny will even make an appearance, ready to meet and greet with the children!
