RVA Children's Book Fair/Festival

The RVA Children’s Book Fair/Festival is scheduled for August 8, 2026, at Diversity Richmond, with a mission to promote public awareness of the importance of children's literature. Join us for a literary extravaganza, where the magic of storytelling comes alive in an immersive celebration of literature, creativity, and community.

This event is a great opportunity for community members to meet and engage with their favorite authors, publishers, or bookstores. There will be several featured authors.

Come out to support your authors, meet them face to face, get pictures, buy books at discounted prices, network with other professionals, and bring back reading books into normalcy and support authors in spreading their messages.

This event will feature author and publisher exhibits, author discussions, book signings, entertainment, networking, door prizes, and food and drinks. The event will attract a wide array of authors, publishers, book clubs, libraries and individual readers.

This event is free and open to the public. Come enjoy this free community Festival that celebrates the beauty, power, passion, and excitement of the written work.

Additionally; copywriter services, editing/proofreading services, bookmarks, etc., may also register.

Upon registration, a Vendor's Packet will be sent.
