Get Out!: Your Weekly Guide to Family Events and More

We've got the details on Easter and non-holiday events!

Tails will be a-hoppin' throughout the county as everyone gears up to hunt eggs, shake a bunny tail and pay heed as Easter Sunday approaches.

The holiday weekend features chances to search for goodies aplenty, as many cities and groups host egg hunts and encounters with a certain big white furry guy. 

In non-holiday happenings near Rancho Bernardo and beyond from April 21-27, the Barrio Logan community celebrates Chicano Park's 41st anniversary. And someone at the San Diego Opera has a devilish sense of humor, debuting Faust the day before Easter.
