President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted the first White House Easter Egg Roll since 2019. The annual event had been canceled for the last two years due to the pandemic.

Flanked by two tall Easter bunnies, the Bidens addressed the crowd from the Truman Balcony. Biden said, “This year we’re finally getting together again and it’s so special. It means so much to see and hear the children and all the families show up to be here today.”

“The President and I are so excited that you are here,” Jill Biden told the crowd. “As your first lady and as a teacher, I’ve seen again and again that learning doesn’t only happen in a classroom. There are so many fun opportunities to learn around us every day. And that’s especially true here at the White House. For generations, presidents and first ladies and kids just like you celebrated the Easter Egg Roll together, racing and making crafts, reading books and of course, meeting the Easter bunny.”
