What a great FREE event, the love of books is priceless. It is a great day of books, entertainment, and OCC the local college has a beautiful tour with open rooms and fun things to see and do for people of all ages. It is a don't miss BIG hit for a great day out in Oct. Everyone should have a few good books and this is the place to find them. Also, I have had a few fun ones signed by authors. Can't wait!

My grandson loves to read and be read to, so taking him to the Festival is
a wonderful way to spend a great day!
He loves the animals, loves to ride the train and enjoys the entertainment. Best of all, we come
away with a lot of great new books every year .... many of them signed by the author.

What an amazing event. A great day for the whole family. My kids loved it. We bought new books, petted animals in the petting zoo and had their faces painted! The entertainment was great too!

I enjoy taking my kids to this event because it's educational and FUN! The shows, music, authors and booths are well laid out and the entertainment is good for kids of all ages (I have four!) We look forward to it each year.

For the past four years I have attended the OC Chidlren's Book Festival. I come with my grandchildren and they wouldn't miss it for anything.
We are looking forward to this year's event too! Meeting bright, inelligent authors and enjoying upbeat entertainment and all for FREE is something Orange County should be very proud and lend their support for the cause of literacy and the joy of reading.
