Annual Easter and Passover Calendar

Happy Spring to our MJ readers! Here is the latest event listing for Passover, Easter, the Easter Bunny, egg hunts and more!
Hop on Over to SYR
San Ysidro Ranch is bringing storybook charm to Easter Sunday on April 5, with a festive celebration that blends refined dining with playful springtime magic. Guests can indulge in an elegant three-course brunch from 10 am to 2 pm, featuring seasonal highlights like sweet pea ravioli, Maine blue crab, and decadent lobster Benedict, alongside a lavish dessert station.
But beyond the table, SYR will hatch into an Easter wonderland.

Families can roam the blooming grounds for egg hunts, meet animals at a charming petting zoo, and enjoy pony rides – adding a sense of delight for guests of all ages.
With its signature mix of luxury and lighthearted fun, San Ysidro Ranch offers a picture-perfect way to celebrate the holiday in Montecito.
