EpicFest is an extraordinary, free literary festival that joyfully connects children, teens and families with books and the people who write them through activities that encourage a love of reading and learning. In its seventh year, EpicFest has become a wonderful family tradition.

Nationally-recognized children’s and young adult authors and illustrators will spend two days in Charlotte to share their latest books, experiences and passion for libraries with kids of all ages.

 Authors and illustrators will visit select Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools on November 8 to speak with students, and will headline a daylong literary festival at ImaginOn on November 9.
