Last checked Oct. 16, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Egg hunts and services come from the organizers’ own pages and the City of Greenville’s event calendar; brunch hours from each restaurant’s own website. Where 2027 dates are not out, we give last year’s date and say so. City questions: Greenville Cares, 864-232-2273.

Easter is Sunday, March 28, 2027, a week earlier than in 2026. It falls at the end of Greenville County Schools’ spring break, and the Monday after is also a holiday, so families get 10 days off. The one 2027 Easter event already on the city’s calendar is the sunrise service in Falls Park; the rest follow from what ran in 2026, and we update this page as organizers post.
