Fine weather was also the case back in 2014 with short sleeves and Easter bonnets aplenty at Marine Gardens on the bank holiday Monday.
However, indoor celebrations were the order of the day for an Eggstravaganza in 2013, a fun day in 2012 and Humpty's Easter Show in 2011 – all held at the Civic Centre.
These happy holiday memories are courtesy of the Carrick Times archive.
