Merrittville Annual Easter Egg Hunt (Presented by Dube Realtors)

How it all started

2024 marked the first year that Steve Dubé, of Dubé Realtors, brought back the Easter Hunt, which was moved out of Welland; unfortunately, the original location was no longer available. Last year’s event was coordinated with Merrittville Speedway at their location. “It brought on a much bigger crowd than we ever expected.” says Steve Dubé.

Merrittville Speedway & Dubé Realtors have partnered up again to bring back this Easter Egg Hunt with a new twist, happening Saturday April 4th 2026 (from 11:00am – 2:00pm). This year we will mark the 3rd Merrittville Speedway Easter Egg Hunt. “More planning and consideration to improve safety and crowd control, more signage, barricades and a directional flow of activities that will keep the crowds moving through both sides of the race track this year, instead of one” says Don Spiece Owner of Merrittville Speedway.

An afternoon event and it is FREE ADMISSION for families and kids. THE HUNT will look a little different this year. Kids will have a chance to get up close to make interactive displays, race-car drivers, and local business to COLLECT CANDY rather than the golf ball hunt. There will be inflatables, games, easter bunny visits, music, food, and entertainment for all. Justin Dubé of Dubé Realtors will be back on stage with trivia and prizes to give away, as the tradition continues. Dubé’s one-of-a-kind hand-built carnival games will be out for all ages to enjoy and the famous prize table for rewards. More fun activities for the entire family, racing cars, fire trucks, inflatables, police cruisers for kids to sit in, a coloring contest, and so much more.

Hosts Don and Lorraine Spiece, Merrittville Speedway owners, have a history of giving back to the community through various events and giving thousands of Christmas gifts to children over the years. “We see this as another opportunity to celebrate family fun and give back to the Niagara Region Community, by providing this Easter event with many free activities to enjoy,” said Lorraine Spiece. There will be plenty of Easter Egg Hunts around the Niagara Region, but this inaugural annual event promises to be fun entertainment for all ages. Hop on down to Merrittville Speedway on April 18.
