Adirondack Family Book Festival

August 16, 2025 | 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Lake Placid Middle/High School

The Adirondack Family Book Festival brings together an illustrious and richly diverse group of children’s and YA authors and illustrators under a big convening tent and several smaller tents to meet their readers of all ages, read aloud, and talk about their work.  Activities that pair select books with the natural beauty of the Adirondacks and hands-on art making and discovery are also planned.

The Adirondack Family Book Festival is free and open to all.

Join us for a celebration of community, diversity, and storytelling in the beautiful Adirondack mountains!
