Light A Candle For Literacy Parade & Children's Book Festival 2026

Last year, something special happened.

Families gathered. Children met authors. Books were shared. Stories came to life.

The Light A Candle For Literacy Parade & Children’s Book Festival brought our community together in a powerful way, and we’re getting ready to do it all again.

From children proudly marching in the parade dressed as their favorite book characters, to families discovering new books and meeting inspiring authors, the day was filled with joy, learning, and connection.

Here’s a quick look at the impact we made together:

• Hundreds of children and families in attendance• Dozens of authors, educators, and community partners• Books shared, stories told, and a love of reading ignited

And this year… we’re making it even bigger.
