The Village of Antioch’s Department of Parks & Recreation is looking forward to a bright Spring Day to hold the annual Easter Parade on Saturday, April 20, 2019. There is no entry fee and we encourage you to participate. The parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. and line up will take place between 9:30 and 10:15 a.m. on Skidmore Dr. The parade will head north on Main street to Williams Street. We will be using Williams Park for the Easter Egg Hunt which follows the parade, so there will be no parking there. Please arrange for parade participants to be picked-up back at the parking lot on Skidmore. The hunt will be limited to the first 500 children to register. Please register at the parks office before the event. The fee is $3.00 per child, ages 1-10. Please make sure your child does not take more than 10 eggs so that we can make sure to have enough for everyone. This is a rain or shine event.
