Brooklyn Book Festival Children’s Day

Brooklyn Book Festival Children's Day fills Brooklyn Borough Hall and Plaza on September 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free program offers readings, workshops, performances, signings, and art projects with children's and middle-grade authors and illustrators.

It sits inside the wider free festival week, so older readers may also care about the main festival day that follows. Author lineups appear on the official homepage as they are announced.

Pick two or three sessions rather than trying to see everything, and bring a tote if you expect to buy books after signings.
