Thousands of people are expected to flock to Lake Caroline this weekend for an egg-cellent day of Easter-themed family fun.

The annual Caroline Springs Easter Family Fun Day on Saturday will offer an afternoon of fun for everyone.

Organised by INChurch Melbourne, the event is in its fifth year.

INChurch Melbourne pastor Craig Maher said he and wife Melissa started the event after moving to Caroline Springs.

“One of the things we noticed straight away was there weren’t any community events offering low-cost, family-friendly entertainment,” he said.

About 5000 people attended last year’s event.

Thousands of people are expected to head to Lake Caroline for the Easter family fun day.

Saturday’s fun will feature inflatable games for the kids, a petting zoo, face-painting and live music. There will also be a free show bag with an Easter egg for each child.

Entry is free. Wrist bands for unlimited inflatable games can be purchased for children aged three to 15.

The event will run at the Lake Caroline Foreshore Park from 11am-3pm.
