Boyband The Wanted and singer Jordin Sparks jetted to Washington, D.C. on Monday (01Apr13) to join President Barack Obama in the annual Easter Egg Roll.

Over 35,000 people turned up at the White House's South Lawn to celebrate the religious holiday as part of the long-standing tradition, and attendees were treated to short performances from The Wanted, former American Idol singer Sparks, and teenage pop star Austin Mahone.

Oscar-nominated actress Quvenzhane Wallis was also on hand for the festivities, which included the traditional egg roll and hunt, as well as story time with Obama and the First Family's dog Bo.

In keeping with the event's theme of Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You!, guests also played basketball and various sports games with athletes like race car driver Danica Patrick and American football star Adrian Peterson.
