Children and their parents will have the opportunity to meet local authors and explore their books at the inaugural Hopewell Children’s Book Festival.  Authors will read from their books, participate in meet-and-greets, talk about their inspiration for writing and about the writing and illustrating process, and sign books for readers. Art and craft tables will offer projects for children to complete and take home. The festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Hopewell Gazebo Park on South Greenwood Ave (next to the Post Office). In the event of rain, the festival will move to the Hopewell Presbyterian Church fellowship hall, 80 W. Broad St., Hopewell, NJ 08525.
