President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama announced today that--just like every year--the 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on the Monday after Easter. The thousands of guests from across the US who will fill the South Lawn on April 9th will be treated to live musical performances, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and, of course, the traditional Easter egg rolling. The event, as it was in 2010 and 2011, will be pegged to the First Lady’s Let’s Move! campaign, and the activities will encourage children "to lead healthy and active lives," the White House said. The annual eggstravaganza has been a tradition since 1878. Last year's Roll was the largest in White House history, with about 30,000 guests.

Full ticketing details will be available on March 1st at whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll. Children 13 and under and their families and/or caretakers may attend.
Last year's Roll featured legendary French chef Jaques Pépin cooking with Mrs. Obama in the Kids Kitchen. The First Lady's Kitchen Garden anchored the area on the bottom of the South Lawn devoted to healthy eating, dubbed the "Play With Your Food" activity center. Performers included Willow Smith, and sports stars mingled with the kids.
