Want to join Michelle and Barack and the kids on the South Lawn of the White House for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on April 13?
This year, for the first time, you can get free tickets online — a process that started today.
In previous years, you had to go to Washington the weekend before the event. Now, all you have to do is go to www.whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll and sign up.
The White House did not say how many tickets will be available.
The theme of the 131st event is “Let’s Go Play,” to encourage America’s youth to lead healthy and active lives.
The event, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., is open to children age 10 and younger, along with their families.
Dating to 1878, the Easter Egg Roll invites children to roll hard-boiled eggs across the lawn using only spoons. Activities this year will include sports, cooking classes, musical performances and storytelling.
A maximum of six tickets will be issued per order, and no more than two adults are allowed per group.
