2026 Festival Schedule will be released closer to the day of the festival.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Tweens Read is geared at students in grades 5 and up. These tweens have a wide range of interests and depending on their age will enjoy selecting books from a wide variety of genres, interests, formats and subject matters with the support of their parent/guardian.

• Authors will sign all of their books before the festival doors open so any book you purchase from the Blue Willow Bookshop pop-up store will already be signed. You can go through the signing lines to get your books personalized and to say hello to the authors.

• No posed photos.

• Some lines may be expedited. This means there will be no photos, signature only - no personalization, and limited number of books signed.
