EGG HUNT The city’s annual Egg Hunt Extravaganza is on Saturday morning at Willard Park. Egg hunts are organized by age, from one-year-olds at 10 a.m. through to nine- and 10-year-olds at noon. But there’s much more than egg hunts including a petting zoo, a visit with the Spring Bunny, spring-themed arts and crafts, an interactive kid’s carnival with prizes and Bunny Hop Dance lessons. Participating children ($10 each) receive a basket to collect their spring treats. Saturday, April 20, 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Willard Park.

LAKSHMI RAMGOPAL Multidisciplinary artist Lakshmi Ramgopal (left) will be performing new work from her EP Some Viscera at the Berkeley Art Museum on Saturday. “By turns beautiful and frightening, Ramgopal’s new music looks to birdsong and lullabies to explore childhood and loss,” notes the museum’s description. But wait, there’s more! Ramgopal will guide audience members in building a set from flowers and other botanical items for her to perform among. Violinist Johanna Brock accompanies Ramgopal for the performance. Saturday, April 20, 4:30 p.m., Berkeley Art Museum, 2155 Center St.
