Overview

• The 2025 Easter Egg Roll, a nearly 150-year-old tradition, took place on the White House South Lawn with 40,000 attendees, including children and their families.
• Real eggs donated by American farmers were used for the event, despite ongoing shortages and record-high prices caused by the H5N1 avian flu outbreak.
• Egg prices in March reached $6.23 per dozen, with supermarkets limiting purchases to one to three cartons per customer as scarcity persists.
• Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, and YouTube sponsored activities at the event, contributing between $70,000 and $200,000 each, with all donations directed to the White House Historical Association.
• President Trump has faced criticism for using the event to claim progress on inflation and egg prices, despite official data showing no significant price reductions.
