Easter Egg Hunt — United States

The White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn has hosted over 30,000 guests annually since 1878, making it the official kickoff of America's egg-hunting season. Across the United States, families hide 180 million eggs each spring, with the average hunt lasting 20 minutes. While this tradition claims the highest participation rate of any Easter event in the country, it lacks the ritual significance of #1's Semana Santa processions, which draw a comparable annual crowd but over a full week.
