Explore Downtown in a new way this Spring!

Spring is hopping its way back into Burlington Downtown, and with it comes new reasons to get outside, explore local, and enjoy a little seasonal adventure. This April, keep your eyes on the shop windows… because something golden is about to appear!

The Golden Egg Hunt is popping up across the downtown, inviting families, friends, and curious explorers to search, stroll, and discover hidden surprises along the way.

Tucked into the storefront windows of participating local businesses, golden eggs are waiting to be spotted. Each one you find brings you closer to unlocking rewards, discovering new favourite shops, and stepping inside to shop, browse, and support local along the way.

Whether you’re out for a waterfront walk, grabbing coffee with friends, or making a day of it with the family, the Golden Egg Hunt adds a playful (and rewarding) twist to your downtown plans.

An Adventure Made for Wandering (and Shopping)!

This isn’t just about finding eggs; it’s about discovering the small businesses that make Burlington Downtown shine! Every stop on the hunt is an opportunity to step inside, explore what’s new, and shop local.

Using a free digital passport, participants can check in as they find each golden egg. Along the way, you’ll unlock exclusive in-store offers, limited-time promotions, and seasonal treats, giving you even more reason to support the businesses you visit.

The more you explore, the more you earn. Stay awhile, browse a little longer, or pop into your next stop, you never know what you might find!

Fun for Families, Friends, and Weekend Explorers

For families, it’s an easy and engaging way to get outdoors and make spring memories together. For visitors, it’s a playful introduction to downtown’s vibrant local scene. And for longtime residents, it’s the perfect excuse to rediscover familiar streets and maybe pick up something new along the way.

The hunt is designed to be flexible and self-guided, so you can explore at your own pace throughout the month. Whether it’s a quick afternoon outing or a full day of shopping, dining, and strolling, every visit counts.

Shop Local. Explore More. Earn Rewards.

At its heart, the Golden Egg Hunt is all about celebrating local. Every stop is a chance to support small businesses, make a purchase, try something new, or treat yourself while you explore.

Collect points with every check-in and once you hit 1,400 points, you’ll be entered into a draw to win one of three $75 Burlington Downtown Gift Cards.

It’s our way of saying thank you for choosing to shop local while enjoying everything downtown has to offer.
