The Collingwood Book Festival Returns

For 24 years, the Collingwood Book Festival has been bringing people together to celebrate the love of reading, and it's coming back to South Jersey this October.

The FREE festival takes over nearly six blocks of Haddon Avenue, filled with books, authors, exhibitors, and plenty of things to see and do throughout the day.

You can browse books from different sellers, check out local exhibitors, listen to storytellers and poetry readings, take part in workshops, and enjoy live performances throughout the day.

The festival takes place Saturday, October 3rd, on Haddon Avenue in Collingswood, so if you love books and discovering something new, it's a great way to spend the day.
