Calling all children and families! Join us at Literacy Lane at the 2026 Word of South Festival of Literature & Music at Cascades Park.

The Literacy Lane stage will feature a full day of children’s authors and musicians, along with engaging hands-on activities. All children will also receive one free book! The festival is free to attend, and with ample free parking available in multiple garages.

More information about Word of South can be found on the festival website.

Support for this program is provided in part by a Florida Humanities Book Festival Grant with funds from the Jacarlene Foundation.
