The American Egg Board and America’s egg farmers continue the longstanding tradition of donating eggs for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. At this year’s event, held on April 10th, Dr. Jill Biden will receive the 2023 First Lady’s Commemorative Egg, featuring a hand-painted design by Carolyn Bickel that celebrates education and children’s dreams for the future.

The White House Easter “EGGucation” Roll is a beloved tradition that brings families and egg farmers together for a day of egg-centric activities and celebrations. Visitors can learn about the journey of an egg from the farm to the plate at the interactive Hen to Home exhibit and participate in egg hunts and decorating activities. This year’s event will also feature a unique food experience, with eggs featured in all dishes in the cafetorium and provided to NASA for a special classroom activity.
