The Traverse City Children’s Book Festival, presented by Jenkins Group, is a joyful celebration of children, families, community, and literacy. This annual event brings together Michigan and national publishers to showcase a wide variety of books for readers of all ages.
In addition to discovering great stories, families can enjoy fun, kid-friendly activities and crafts hosted by local non-profits. Award-winning authors and illustrators—including Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards medalists—will be on hand to share their inspiring work, making the festival a must-visit for book lovers of all ages.
Admission is free, and no tickets are required! Plus, every attendee (adults & children) will receive $1 in Book Bucks, good toward the purchase of any book at the festival.
