Randall’s Island Book Festival
September 17, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Join the Randall’s Island Park Alliance and Boogie Down Books for our new outdoor literary tradition celebrating books and young readers. Meet local authors and illustrators from Harlem, the Bronx and the NYC Community and enjoy an afternoon of readings, discussions and signings. All of the books presented will be available for purchase on site.
Choose to participate in a bilingual read-aloud by Bella Noche from Drag Story Hour NYC (for readers ages 0 – 7) or a doughnut decorating class. Children who pre-register for the event will receive a free book, thanks to the book donation by the New York Junior League.
Please click here for further details and to register. This is a FREE event, but you must pre-register in order to receive a book, while supplies last. This event is rain or shine.
