On Saturday, March 29, 2025, we invite the ENTIRE community to join us for the fifth annual Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop on the Beaufort Academy Football Field.
We’re dropping thousands of plastic Easter eggs from a helicopter…yup, you heard that right – a HELICOPTER! Pre-register your children to participate in one of SIX age-specific egg hunts with over 19,500 eggs.
The Great Helicopter Egg Drop is an Easter Egg Hunt open to the first 1,300 pre-registered children in our community between the ages of 1-12. There will be many golden eggs with GREAT PRIZES. If your child would like to participate in the egg drop they can pre-register on Eventbrite for $17, which includes a specific egg drop and unlimited use of the bounce area. Petting zoo is not included this year, but available for a minimal price. You must pre register your child on Eventbrite to participate in an egg drop time. Egg drop tickets will not be available at the door, and tend to sell out quick!
NEW VIP TICKETS THIS YEAR (SOLD OUT)
Be a VIP and skip the lines, secure a VIP parking spot near the field, and join a special Egg Drop with a limited number of kids, more eggs to collect and UPGRADED PRIZES! Each VIP Ticket includes: (1) on-site VIP parking spot (one per family), (1) Petting zoo admission, (1) VIP egg drop at 10am (Ages 2-11) and early access to meet the Easter Bunny from 9-10am. Gates open early at 9am for VIP only. Limited to 60 registrants. *Child must participate in the 10am drop, no exchanges.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT PARENTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED ON THE FIELD FOR THE 1-3 AGE GROUP** No child older than 3 is allowed on the field for this drop, one parent per child is allowed in this group, and will have a parent bracelet for admission. We ask parents to limit the amount of eggs to 10 per child so there is enough for all.
**PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE FIELD FOR AGES 4-12** If your child is 4 years or older or cannot go on the field without you, please do not register.
The fun doesn’t stop at the Egg Drop! We’ll also have an Unlimited Bounce House Area (included in ticket!), Barnyard Petting Zoo, DJ by Jesse Gavigan, EASTER BUNNY appearance sponsored by Miler Orthodontics, various shopping vendors and a great array of FOOD TRUCKS that will serve lunch, snacks & dessert. Event is from 9:30am-2pm, so stay for the DAY!
The Great Helicopter Egg Drop will be held at the Beaufort Academy Football Field on Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 9:30am until 2pm. See below for parking information. Please arrive earlier than your scheduled egg drop time for check-in, and to enjoy all of the great activities, shopping, music and food trucks. Gates open at 9:30am.
Admission to the festival is FREE, and open to the public. Even if you don’t have kids, join us for lunch, shop with vendors, stay for lunch and watch the egg drop fun!
