2023 Inclusive Easter Events Near Rome and Marietta GA
As we all celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are reminded that His love is for everyone! The same should be said for Easter festivities, because everyone can find a way to enjoy this victorious day. It warms our hearts to see more special needs-friendly events coming together throughout our communities. We decided to put together a list of 2023 inclusive Easter events in Rome, Marietta and surrounding areas in effort to help you find the perfect way to gather with your family and friends this Easter weekend.
Fun, food, games, DJ, activities, and egg hunts for all ages
Helicopter drops thousands of eggs onto the football field of Sprayberry High School to kick-off the hunt, with over 90,000 eggs and candy to be given away!
Wheelchair accessible and sensory friendly with special consideration for the visually and hearing impaired. The event will also include scooping nets for children in wheelchairs and a tent with bean bags for sensory-sensitive children.

Bring your flashlights and baskets! They will have 4 egg hunts: One at 7:25 pm across from the park office for special needs children, one at 7:45pm at campground picnic shelter for toddlers to age 4, one at 8:05pm at the Interactive center for ages 5-9, and one at 8:20pm for ages 10-12 behind the park office.
It is common for parents taking care of children with disabilities to feel overwhelmed at the idea of going out to a public event, just as it is overwhelming for your child. It is our wish that you find a space where you feel comfortable. At SGF, we encourage our communities to keep working hard to make this space for you and your family, because it is important that these special children are seen, celebrated, and loved. Being able to come up with a list for local 2023 inclusive Easter events means your impact is growing, and that gives us hope for the future.
May you all have a lovely Easter weekend hunting eggs, enjoying meals and treats with your loved ones, and more importantly celebrating Jesus’ resurrection!
