Bunny Hop Trail event set for Friday, March 25, at FWB Recreation Center  

The City of Fort Walton Beach's annual Bunny Hop Trail is set for Friday, March 27, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Fort Walton Beach Recreation Center.

“Hop” along our trail to get treats from our vendors. We’ll have bounce houses, face painting, and other fun activities, as well as a “photo booth” where children can have their picture made with the Easter Bunny.

The event will be held on the soccer fields located behind the Recreation Center at 132 Jet Drive NW. Parking is available at the Rec Center and at the two city lots located on Hollywood Boulevard across from Hampton Hyundai.

Our Bunny Hop Trail is a great opportunity for you to get the word out about your business, organization, civic, or work group. If you would like to participate by setting up a table along our trail and handing out treats, please contact Program Coordinator Pat Sherman at 850-833-9576 or psherman@fwb.org. 

We hope to see you there!
