White House Easter Egg Roll 2026, South Lawn Photo

The White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition dating back to 1878, returned to the South Lawn on Monday, April 6, for its 148th edition. The event, hosted by President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, featured 30,000 real eggs sourced from North Carolina’s Braswell Family Farms and involved families selected through an online lottery. A new tradition this year is the introduction of 150 live chicks as part of the Hen to Home exhibit hosted by the American Egg Board, USA TODAY previously reported.
