About this Event

📚✨ Rockford’s First Grown-Up Book Fair ✨📚

Remember the excitement of walking into a Scholastic Book Fair as a kid? We’re bringing that feeling back with the first Grown-Up Book Fair at Bennie's!

Join us for an evening celebrating the magic of books, creativity, and community. Browse tables from local bookstores, meet talented local authors, and shop handmade, book-inspired crafts and merchandise. Plus, unleash your inner child with activities like DIY bookmark making and other literary-themed surprises.

Whether you’re a lifelong reader, a casual book lover, or just looking for a fun way to spend your night, this event is for you. Come shop, create, connect, and rediscover the joy of book fairs – grown-up style.
