The Junior League has been entrusted with hosting the Northport Bunny Trail this year, taking over from last year's host, Tuscaloosa's One Place. “The first Northport Bunny Trail event was such a huge success, and we saw how much the community enjoyed having a spring event,” said Tuscaloosa’s One Place Executive Director Kevin Besnoy.

“We are so pleased that the Junior League of Tuscaloosa will be taking lead on this year’s event and appreciate their commitment to growing this effort for many years to come.”

Mark your calendars, as the trail will welcome the public starting from March 1st and continue until Easter Sunday, March 31st.

But that's not all – the trail will also offer an array of delightful spring-themed events for everyone to revel in, said the Junior League of Tuscaloosa.

“This is a great opportunity for the Junior League to host an event that means so much to the community,” said Junior League of Tuscaloosa President Austin Butler. “Funds raised from this event allows our organization to continue our work of developing the potential of women, as well as providing charitable support to important causes in our community.”

Not only did the Northport Bunny Trail provide locals with enjoyable activities, but it also served as a platform to showcase Northport's downtown area and support economic growth for its businesses.

“Supporting local business and enhancing growth is a priority for the City of Northport, and events like the Bunny Trail give us a platform to highlight our businesses,” said City of Northport City Administrator Glenda Webb. “We appreciate the partnership with the Junior League, and we can’t wait to see all the visitors in downtown Northport enjoying the Bunny Trail,” added Webb.

Sponsorships for the various Bunny Trail events, as well as the eggs, are now available. For more information, visit northportbunnytrail.com.
