Egg Hunt – Adventure in the Village

An Easter treasure hunt in the village of Fara in Sabina

The Egg Hunt – Adventure in the Village is the event that kicks off the Easter festivities every spring in Fara in Sabina, one of the most charming villages in the Province of Rieti, in the Lazio region. Promoted by the Municipality of Fara in Sabina together with the Pro Loco Fara in Sabina APS, the event transforms Piazza Duomo and the historic center's alleys into a large open-air playground designed for children and their families.

The Prince of Eretum and the lost treasure

The heart of the event is a true narrative treasure hunt. The young participants, turned into junior explorers, receive a special mission: to help the legendary Prince of Eretum find his precious Easter treasure, lost among the village alleys. The reference is no coincidence: Eretum was an ancient Sabine city that stood in this territory, and the connection links the game to the deeper history of the Sabina region.

Tests, riddles, and teamwork

Along the route through the historic center, children must overcome a series of challenges that make the experience engaging and immersive:

• Skill tests to be faced stage by stage;
• Riddles and puzzles to solve in order to proceed;
• Team dynamics that encourage collaboration;
• Discovery of the village's historical heritage, including vistas, squares, and hidden corners.

The initiative is not just a party: it is designed as an educational experience that combines play, exploration of the territory, and social interaction, while enhancing the identity and beauty of the local village.

An event for the whole community

In recent years, the Egg Hunt has become a highly anticipated appointment: the 2026 edition, dubbed "2.0", saw the participation of over one hundred children, confirming the strong bond between the event and the Fara in Sabina community. The organization relies on the support of volunteers, the Civil Service, the Local Police, and local associations, testifying to a true team effort.

Immersed in the landscape of the Rieti Sabina olive groves, Fara in Sabina offers the ideal setting for a spring afternoon outdoors: a simple and free way to let the little ones, and their parents, discover the magic of a medieval village in Lazio.
