Hudson Children's Book Festival

The Hudson Children’s Book Festival returns, gathering more than 75 authors and illustrators for a free, daylong celebration of reading. Now in its 15th year, the event has grown into one of the largest children’s book festivals in New York State, built around a simple premise: connect young readers with the people who make the stories. Families move from table to table meeting creators, collecting signed books, and participating in crafts and activities. With its mix of nationally recognized names and emerging voices, the festival doubles as both literary showcase and community literacy engine.
