Patrick Casserly, Isabella Cohen, June Casserly, and Sarah Cohen grabbed as many eggs as they can.

The City of Long Beach’s Department of Parks and Recreation held its 57th annual Easter Egg Hunt on March 25 at the recreation fields on Magnolia Boulevard.

Hundreds of children came out to enjoy the annual event, officials said.

City Council President Anthony Eramo welcomed attendees, and the Easter Bunny was on hand to greet all of the participants.

“The Long Beach Recreation Department would like to thank East End Volleyball for sponsoring this event,” said Paul Ferrante, assistant superintendent of parks and recreation.
