BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Easter falls on Sunday, April 9 this year.
The Farmers’ Almanac says Easter is described as a “movable feast,” meaning it doesn’t happen on the same date every year. The Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ is most commonly celebrated on either March 31 or April 16.
Among all of the Easter bunny pictures, egg hunts and family events, there’s Easter Sunday to make plans for. Hop on over to one of several restaurants in Baton Rouge that will be hosting a holiday brunch, some paired with live entertainment or bunny visits.
