A book festival is an opportunity for authors and book lovers to join together in a festive environment. At the Great Valley Bookfest, you can mingle with your favorite authors, discover new ones, or pick up that book you have been dying to read.

The interactive Children’s areas will have something for everyone in the family. Meet your favorite Princess, Spiderman, Captain America and other amazing characters. Magicians will offer balloon sculptures plus amazing magic throughout the day. The Children’s Zone by NEW LIFE will present martial arts, dance demos and even a couple of bounce houses. For children, a book festival is a great place to develop a love for reading. See you there!

All of the day’s activities — which include author presentations, workshops, cooking demonstrations, parade, and performances — are provided free of charge.
