Follow on Google News | 17th Annual Celebrating Words FestivalJoin our festival and receive free books! Aiming to be the leading event to put free, quality, and culturally relevant books in our community's hands!
The Celebrating Words Festival provides an accessible, brave, and dynamic space that encourages creativity and supports intellectual growth and healing, in the vital and unique way that arts and literacy can. Access to free books in the area is non-existent and we aim to be the leading event to put free, quality, and culturally relevant books in our community's hands. Since 2018, we have distributed 3,650 books. The Celebrating Words Festival book giveaway is intentionally designed to be a literacy resource that supports our community in becoming active readers and owners of personal libraries. 1,000 books will be given away for all ages, in English, Spanish and Bilingual. Books will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. 1 per person. You can access our Book Giveaway Catalog here, for all our book selections for the giveaway. This event is family-friendly and for all ages. All programming and parking details will be available on our Website. We will also have Free art posters, bookmarks, and our 2nd Edition of the CWF coloring book featuring local NESFV artists.
