Book lovers of all ages are invited to EpicFest 2025.

EpicFest is an extraordinary, free literary festival that joyfully connects children and families with books and the people who write them through activities that encourage a love of reading and learning. In its 9th year, EpicFest has become a wonderful family tradition.

Nationally-recognized children’s 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 7 to speak with students, and will headline a daylong literary festival at ImaginOn on November 8. Hosted by Charlotte Mecklenburg Library.
