Crozet Book Fest Jr.

This local book festival launched in 2024 and is returning in 2025! Run by Bluebird & Co. bookstore and sponsored by dozens of local businesses, it spotlights both national bestsellers and local Virginia authors. The attending authors include every genre and age range, from picture books to young adult and adult novels, so there’s sure to be something for the whole family. Admission is free (though books are for sale at each event). All the events are located in downtown Crozet within walking distance of each other, making it an easy way to spend a family-friendly day embracing the literary life! CharlottesvilleFamily Magazine is proud to be a sponsor!
