The occasion brought families together "to celebrate both the joy of Easter and the enduring blessings of liberty that define the American story," according to a release from the Office of the First Lady.

There were also an array of activities, such as an AI-Creation Station, flower bouquet building, a flight lab, a sensory-friendly egg hunt - and live chickens.

In his speech, the president shared that this Easter is for America's egg farmers - noting that he was asked about egg prices last year and was asked to use plastic eggs for the roll.

"Within a short period of time, eggs came down. … We had so many eggs, we didn't know what to do with them," Trump added. "Today we have more than 40,000 eggs supplied by all of the great egg farmers that are with us.'

He said the White House Egg Roll was anticipating between 30,000 and 50,000 Americans today to take part in all of the festivities.

"I want to thank all of the associations and the egg farmers, and all of the people that are here," said Trump.

The first lady spoke as well, wishing all Americans a happy Easter.

"I hope you enjoy this beautiful day," Melania Trump said.

Further down on the South Lawn, a stage featured popular child performer Go with YoYo.

The tradition of the Reading Nook continued, with the first lady reading a book to children.

There were 500 Americans who volunteered for this year's Egg Roll event at the White House.
