After two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Pres. Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcome families to White House Easter Egg Roll. 'This year, we're finally getting together again and it's so special.'
Jill Biden, a longtime educator who has continued her job teaching community college while serving as first lady, created and curated this year’s theme: “EGGucation!” Her husband is scheduled to give remarks at 10:15 a.m.A topiary bunny and other decorations are in place on the South Lawn as President Joe Biden will welcome thousands of children and their families for the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House in Washington, D.C., April 18, 2022.
The tradition of inviting families to the South Lawn to hunt for colorful eggs and roll them on wooden spoons dates to 1878 -- but its return after two years risks being overshadowed by the very reason it was paused. It's unclear if all those attending are required to submit a negative COVID test, but it is expected that children under five -- still unauthorized to receive the vaccine -- will be on-site in scores.
The White House said 30,000 people were invited to take part in this year's outdoor event"including thousands of military families, and the crew members and families from the U.S.S. DELAWARE, the U.S. Naval Submarine, for which the First Lady is the sponsor."
