For the 138th year, The White House will today host its annual Easter Egg Roll, the largest annual public event at the White House.

The annual holiday tradition will take place on the South Lawn of the White House. In honor of the final Easter Egg Roll of the Obama Administration, this year's theme is "Let's Celebrate." The event will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and, of course, Easter egg rolling. In support of the First Lady's Let's Move! Initiative, this year's event will also include the first-ever White House Fun Run, where First Lady Michelle Obama will join 250 children on a short run to promote active and healthy lifestyles for kids.

This year's special guest is Tony Award winning, multi-platinum recording artist, Idina Menzel (IF/THEN, WICKED). Menzel will sing the National Anthem as well as perform on the Rock 'n' Egg Roll Stage. Menzel shared a photo from her sound check earlier on Twitter:

Silento, Daya, Echosmith, Chloe x Halle, Trevor Jackson, DJ Mel, Mack and Moxy, and SESAME STREET will also perform on the Rock 'n' Egg Roll Stage. The Official Emcee of the 2016 White House Easter Egg Roll is Tommy McFly.

Readers on the Storytime Stage will be Bear Grylls, the cast of Black-ish, Trinitee Stokes and the cast of Bunk'd, Genevieve Goings, La La Anthony, Robin Roberts, Sesame Street, Shaquille O'Neal, Shonda Rhimes, and Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon and Jeannie Mai from The Real.
