There will be non. In christian dominated countries the easter days are high holidays which are classified as "silent". That means no parties and entertainment festivities allowed.

The munich arch diocese of the roman catholic church organises a traditional "Karfreitagsprozession". I do not believe that this is what you expect, but have a look:

On saturday there are traditional easter bonfires at Ampertal, where they symbolically burn Judas for ratting out J.C. (this is so wrong)

There is a easter egg hunt at Tierpark Hellabrunn for kids up to 12y.o. on Eastersunday

Bad Toelz has a famous Easter Market, closed on black friday, open on saturday and sunday.

On Sunday the the boats of Bayerische Seenschiffahrt start the boat season on Starnberger See with a nice easter brunch excursion.
