Celebrate Easter at Lake Cumberland!
Springtime at Lake Cumberland is always something special—sunny skies, blooming dogwoods, and the scent of fresh-cut grass in the air. But Easter weekend takes it up a notch, bringing the community together for fun, reflection, and celebration. If you’re in the area (or looking for a great reason to visit), mark your calendar for two meaningful and family-friendly events happening this April.
🐣 Easter Egg Hunt – Saturday, April 12th
Location: Russell County Fair Grounds
Time: Giveaway Registration: 11am-12pm and the Egg Hunt Begins at 12:05pm
Bring your baskets and your little ones for one of the area’s most beloved traditions! The Easter Egg Hunt at the Russell County Fair Grounds promises a fun-filled morning with more than 12,000 colorful eggs, sweet surprises, and plenty of smiles. Whether you’re a local or just in town for the weekend, this event is a great way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and connect with the community.
There’ll be eggs for several age groups. PreK-3rd, 3rd and 4th, as well as 5th and 6th—and rumor has it, the Easter Bunny may make a special appearance. 📸
✝️ Easter Reenactment – Friday, April 18th
Presented by: Jamestown Christian Church
Location: Across from Five Star on Hwy 127
Time: 5pm-7pm
Experience the story of Easter brought to life through a powerful reenactment hosted by Jamestown Christian Church. Set across from Five Star on 127, this moving presentation walks through the final days of Jesus’ life, His crucifixion, and the miracle of His resurrection.
It’s a beautiful opportunity for reflection and worship, open to all ages and faith backgrounds. Whether you’re a longtime member of the church or a visitor passing through, you’ll find something truly meaningful in this community-centered event.
Make a Weekend of It
Lake Cumberland in the spring is the perfect place to unwind. After the egg hunts and reenactments, stick around and enjoy the fresh air, rolling hills, and maybe even take a stroll by the water. Many local restaurants and shops are open for the season, and nearby campgrounds or cabins offer a peaceful place to stay.
We’d love to see how you celebrate!
