Bidens host 2024 Easter egg roll at White House

Washington — The White House is hosting the annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday, where children gathered for the long-held tradition put on by the president and first lady.

This year's event, which carries on a tradition that began in 1878, features school themes. The "EGGucation" event hosted by longtime teacher and first lady Jill Biden features educational activities such as a reading nook and a farm field trip, among others, this year.

Around 40,000 people were expected to attend the annual Easter Egg Roll event. Children roll colorful eggs using wooden spoons across the White House's South Lawn in the longstanding tradition.
