Held by the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce on the grounds of Siesta Key Chapel, the event featured games and and activities, including Easter crafts, live animals and photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny.

Marisa Merlino, promotion and event manager for the chamber, said the event sees the community truly becoming involved each year, with organizations like Kiwanis and Girl Scouts participating.

She also acknowledged the important role of Siesta Key Chapel in making the event possible.

"We work very closely with them so we really appreciate them letting us have it here and being so supportive of this event two years in a row," Merlino said. "It's the perfect venue, especially for the kids with the shade, so we really couldn't do it without them."
