2026 Authors of Color Book Fair: A Free Community Event for All Ages
About this Event
Join Us at the Authors of Color Book Fair!
Join us for a powerful day celebrating literacy, culture, and community at Carvd N Stone Foundation's 2026 Authors of Color Book Fair.
This free, family-friendly event is designed to increase access to books written by authors of color while creating a space where community, storytelling, and joy come together.
REGISTRATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE A BOOK. IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE!
📚 What to expect:
- Hundreds of FREE books for all ages and reading levels
- Books organized like a mini library by genre and age group
- Local author activations
- Live DJ setting the vibe throughout the day
- Free horse rides for everyone
- Community resources and local organizations
Since launching the book drive, we’ve already collected 200+ books that will be distributed at this event, and we’re just getting started.
This event is more than a book fair; it’s about representation, access, and making sure every child and family sees themselves in the stories they read.
Whether you’re coming to grab books, support local authors, or just enjoy the atmosphere, this event is for you!
