The Marblehead Rotary Club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt has been postponed by a week because of the weather forecast and is now scheduled for Sunday, April 12, at Seaside Park.

In an email to The Independent, Laney Dowling said the hunt will begin at 1:30 p.m. sharp. In a follow-up note, she said the event was being pushed back from its original Easter Sunday date because of forecasted weather.

The hunt has long been a familiar part of Marblehead’s Easter season. On its website, the Rotary Club has previously listed the event at Seaside Park, behind the Our Lady Star of the Sea Community Center, and said children should be on hand by 1:30 p.m. because thousands of chocolate eggs are usually claimed within five to 10 minutes. Past public postings said the event was weather permitting, open to Marblehead children age 10 and under, and included a separate area for children under 5.
