The Rhode Island Accessible Beeping Egg Hunt was held on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at Johnston High School. More than 150 people participated, including children who are visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing and their siblings. Despite the rainy weather, a series of egg hunts took place all throughout the high school. The beeping eggs were provided and crafted by the Rhode Island Bomb Squad.

The event was organized by the Rhode Island Parents of Blind and Visually Impaired Children (RIPBVIC) and Rhode Island Hands & Voices (RIH&V) with support from the Rhode Island Lions Sight Foundation, Rhode Island Early Detection Intervention program, Rhode Island Parent Information Network, the Rhode Island Brotherhood of Correctional Officers, the Rhode Island Bomb Squad, IN-SIGHT, and Camp Mauchatea.
