Black Children’s Book Fest 
Hosted by Black Children’s Books DMV+
Saturday, March 25th 2023 
10am – 3pm 
The Writer’s Center;  4508 Walsh St, Bethesda, MD 20815
Registration Link: https://bcbfest1.eventbrite.com

The purpose of Chapter 1 is to highlight the multitude of black children’s authors in DC, Maryland, Virginia and beyond. We seek to encourage attendees to support participating authors by purchasing their books and engaging in interactive storytimes. 

Although Chapter 1 is based in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area, we intend to bring authors together from across the DC, Maryland and Virginia metro area. Attendees will engage in live storytimes with coinciding interactive activities, calming exercises in our 4DMV Kids Space, and author meet and greets through The Vending Spot, where they can also purchase a plethora of themed children’s books. Refreshments will be served throughout the event pending sponsorship.
