The show must go on! Many of our activities will be tented, but be sure to bring your rain boots and raincoat just in case! If there are signs of lightning, we will take a temporary pause and resume when the lightning clears.
Can I bring my pet?
Yes! We love furry friends! Although we ask that all of our furry friends stay leashed, outdoors, and away from carnival games/activities. Pets are not allowed near our petting zoo area.
Will I need to pay for tickets for my children to play the carnival games?
Nope, all of our activities and carnival games are completely free to the public.
Will you be giving out books for children?
Of course! BookSpring is dedicated to getting families reading and succeeding together!
Where can I park?
Parking is available in the surrounding plaza; just follow the marked BookSpring Fest signage. Our front lot will be reserved for guest readers and handicap-accessible parking. Be sure to check the event map here for details.
Who will be there?
So many special guests! Be sure to check out our Special Guests tab.
This year, we will have children’s book authors from SCBWI Austin all day with their books and some fun for the kiddos!
Is there anything there for adults?
Yes! We hope you’ll enjoy some brews from our sponsors while listening along to readings from special guests you may recognize! And don’t be afraid to let your inner child out while you enjoy some of our carnival games and activities.
What kind of activities will you have?
All of our special guests will read a book aloud, and some will even have performances! We’ll also have carnival games, a petting zoo, face painting, a balloon maker, STEM activities, and more!
Can I bring children’s books to donate?
Yes! We’ll be collecting book donations at the BookSpring info tent!
