White House Easter Egg Roll 2009 Tickets Online

The White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on April 13, 2009, and for the first time, tickets are available online.

Tickets will be available online for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll beginning Thursday, March 26, 2009. In previous years the only way to obtain tickets for the event was standing in a very long line at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. the weekend before the event.

The White House Easter Egg Roll dates back to 1878 and is an event designed to encourage children and their families to come outdoors and celebrate the start of the spring season. This year’s theme, ‘Let’s go play’, encourages America’s youth to lead healthy and active lives. The White House will open the South Lawn to children age ten and under, along with their families, to enjoy sports, cooking classes, live musical performances, storytelling and, of course, the traditional Easter egg roll. Please come dressed to be active and participate in all of the events.

The White House isn’t saying how many tickets will be available. Tickets will be available at various times throughout the day. They advise checking the website throughout the day.

Each person will be limited to six tickets. It is open to children 10 years old or younger and their families, with a limit of two adults.
