KidFest is a day-long, activity-filled event for kids of all ages and their families. An exciting part of the Morristown Festival of Books, KidFest is where kids meet their favorite authors and illustrators and partake in interactive presentations and book readings. Additionally, kids can get pictures taken with costume characters, enjoy fun music, play games, and more. Books are for sale throughout the event and can be personally signed by authors.
The Morristown Festival of Books celebrates the authors and illustrators who share their passion for books with our most important readers! We have been thrilled to welcome an incredible lineup of Children’s and Young Adult authors over the years. The announcement of our 2022 KidFest roster is coming soon! Stay tuned or subscribe to our newsletter (sign-up form at the bottom of this page) to get early updates!
KidFest is supported by Atlantic Health System/Goryeb Children’s Hospital and a group of wonderful local public and private schools, and we are deeply grateful for their generosity.
MFOB is pleased to partner with the Rotary Club of Morristown to collect gently used books, which will be distributed to organizations serving children in need.
