John Scott Park

Pages in the Park is a newly launched, free community children's book festival designed to celebrate storytelling and ignite a love of reading in young minds. Held under the shady trees of John Scott Park in Samford Village, this family-friendly event takes place. It offers the perfect outdoor afternoon for families to come together, enjoy a picnic, and discover new stories in a relaxed community atmosphere.

The festival features a vibrant lineup of interactive activities tailored for children and book lovers alike. Attendees can meet talented local authors, purchase books, and get them personally signed by the creators. Beyond meeting writers, children can participate in engaging live story time sessions, unleash their creativity at free arts and crafts tables, enter friendly competitions and browse market stalls throughout the afternoon. Picnic rugs, snacks and good vibes are encouraged.
