Celebrate a historic Easter at Old Salem this year

With Easter at an early date this year it is less than a month away already. Falling on March 31 Easter festivities are the perfect time to celebrate both the holiday and the coming of spring!

For anyone new to Winston Salem a perfect place to celebrate Easter is in downtown Winston Salem and anyone from the city knows there is much to offer in that area. Old Salem is a great place to join in Easter hunts and activities while learning more about Moravian culture which is a huge component of this city’s history.

There will be fun family friend Easter activities all day Saturday March 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. plus a sunrise service on Easter Sunday March 31.

The Easter Egg Hunt will be from 10:30 a.m. -11:30 a.m. and take place in the Tavern Meadow on South Main Street. Children must be accompanied by an adult and participants should bring their own Easter basket.
