2026 Minnesota Children's Book Festival (Sep 19)
Anderson Center
September 9, 2026
Meet the authors and illustrators of the best new books for young readers in a FREE, family-friendly festival environment. The Minnesota Children’s Book Festival is back for the 27th year on Saturday, September 19!
The Minnesota Children’s Book Festival is designed for kids and their adults to connect, learn, and play together. All ages are welcome. This festival emphasizes the joy of reading and imagination through author meet-and-greets and arts activities.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
