Easter is still more than a week away, but there are many holiday-related festivities kicking in this weekend.

Even if you don't celebrate the bunny holiday or not ready for it, we have some other suggestions, too.

When/Where: Saturday, April 16, 10 a.m.-noon, , 722 Rockbridge Rd SW, Lilburn.

All Saints Lutheran Church is having three of them, separated by age group, but that's not all: games, snacks, special prizes and a costumed Mother Goose and Easter Bunny will be available to kids at this annual event, too. Remember: The bigger the basket, the more eggs it can hold.
