A Day of Learning and Community at the 9th Annual Ruby Bridges Reading Festival

This special event celebrates reading, diversity, and community—all in a vibrant, family-focused atmosphere. Perfect for children from pre-K through elementary school, the festival offers something for everyone, from inspiring storytelling to kids activities that make learning come alive.

Kids will be delighted by exciting entertainment like balloon animals, a live puppeteer, a bubble machine, and magic shows.

Every child will have the chance to take home free books to build their personal libraries, and educators with valid school ID can receive complimentary books for their classrooms.

Through engaging stories and fun, interactive experiences, families will explore the importance of inclusion, kindness, and standing up for what’s right.

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate literacy, civil rights, and the joy of being together. It’s a day your family won’t forget!
