Great family music. Nationally known authors reading from – and signing – their books. A circus. A bounce house.

Families can meet author Jarrett J. Krosoczka, and get the latest book in his Lunch Lady series weeks before it’s in stores… Or rock out to Brooklyn’s own Deedle Deedle Dees… Or check out the Hampshire Gymnastics demos and bounce in the bounce house. It’s like Woodstock for kids – without the yucky parts!
There will be three stages filled with music, authors and puppet shows. A food court featuring healthy food and great treats from local vendors. Arts and crafts, vendors, magic and more.
