Dream Big: A Free Play and Literacy Experience
Free outdoor play and literacy program at Houseman Playground.
Your kids can meet real authors, get free signed books, and play to their hearts' content at this free community event. Organized by THE PLAYGROUNDgr and GR Lit Fest, it's designed to spark a love of reading while letting children have fun outdoors. The two-hour afternoon program combines storytelling and literary connections with active play opportunities, making it ideal for families who want to encourage both imagination and movement.
The best part? Everything is completely free. Beyond meeting the authors and receiving complimentary signed books, families can enjoy free food, giveaways, and additional surprises throughout the event. No registration or tickets are required—just show up ready to explore, play, and discover new favorite books. It's a wonderful way to connect with local children's authors and celebrate reading as a community.
