- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: SESSION TWO IS SOLD OUT! THANK YOU! Limited tickets remain for Session One...get them while you can :)

We're back, we're bad and bigger than ever: after a sold out first year, we're again heading back in time to revel in some sweet memories and celebrate the awesomeness of reading. Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront (BPRW) is bringing the childhood thrill of book fairs back to adults on Saturday, April 18th at our brand new home: the unbelievably rad SEABA Center on Pine Street!

Who of us hasn't spent their adult life chasing the joy of the book fair? You pinned on that Book It button with well-deserved satisfaction, effortlessly won that personal pan pizza reading prize, and can still summon the smell of a fresh stack of Scholastic Book Fair catalogs delivered to your elementary school classroom. You're not alone! 

Independent bookseller and our friend Phoenix Books is once again bringing the nostalgia of your favorite school book fair, with both current and "vintage" great reads and gifts for kids and adults! 


~~~So like, what's the haps after we've scored our books?~~~
So far...

-Retro Theme Selfie Station with props, complete with that one school photo backdrop every Gen X and Millennial knows well
-Bar with selections from our friends at SEABA 
-Sugarsnap has dreamt up a menu for the Book Fair that’s based on our childhood favorites: but unlike our questionable childhood cafeterias, they are serving absolutely choice food we would have *gladly* been first shift lunch for. See the menu and pre-order at our ticketing link when you purchase and your QR code will be all you need. Whether pre-ordering or ordering at the event, join the lunch line and enjoy some tasty treats!
-Once you've cleaned your plate, Pinky Promise Pastry is working on a back in the day Bake Sale for all your dessert needs
-Video wall with all your favorite music from the heyday of MTV (Remember videos? Remember MTV?) and classic sitcoms too 
-Old school crafts we're trying to bring back. We'll provide the stuff to make Friendship Pins, but you'll have to bring the Tretorns and Reeboks.
-Wicked cool local photographer Luke Awtry is all that and a bag of chips. He'll be there to snap your school photos against another infamous backdrop: you know, the cool laser one they charged our parents more for? That one.**
-Brand new for Session Two only this year: Anyone who has been on the dance floors of Retronome, Red Square, Monkey House (and so many more) knows that local DJ Two Sev understands the assignment: spinning 80s/90s/early 00s tunes so dope you won't be able to resist reliving your school dance days. That's right: we're having a rockin' dance party that's over by 9pm, just how we like it these days.

**Session Two Only, photos will available online after edits
