Syracuse, NY - Hello Friends! We’re excited to announce that the Light A Candle for Literacy Parade & Children’s Book Festival is returning this year — with a new location!
McKinley-Brighton Elementary School
141 W Newell St.
Syracuse, NY 13205
We are especially excited about our new location, which will allow us to create an even more vibrant, family-friendly celebration of literacy.
If you joined us in the past or registered previously, you already know how special this event is. Each year, we bring together families, young readers, authors, community groups, and local organizations to celebrate the joy and power of books and learning.
If you haven’t registered yet: There’s still time to participate in the parade or the festival! We welcome schools, youth groups, community organizations, authors, vendors, and community partners to march in the parade, host a table, or take part in the celebration.
If you’ve already registered: Thank you for being part of the movement to inspire young readers! One of the best ways you can help is by sharing the event flyer with your networks — friends, families, schools, churches, and community groups. The more people we reach, the more children we can inspire.
Bring the kids, invite your neighbors, and come enjoy an afternoon celebrating literacy with the community. The event will feature children’s book authors, activities for kids, community groups, character appearances, free food, and a lively parade celebrating reading.
Please help spread the word and invite others to join us.
Thank you for helping us Light a Candle for Literacy!
