Important Update: Passaic County Book Festival Canceled

We’re sorry to share that the 4th Annual Passaic County Book Festival, scheduled for Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Weasel Brook Park, has been canceled due to the forecasted rain.


This was not an easy decision, but with outdoor events—and especially one centered around books—weather plays a big role. Unfortunately, rain and books just don’t go together.

We know how much excitement and effort went into planning this day, and we’re so grateful to all of the authors, performers, vendors, and community members who supported the festival and were looking forward to attending.

Thank you for your understanding, and for being part of a community that celebrates reading, writing, and creativity. We hope to see you at future events and will share updates as soon as we’re able to.

Stay dry and keep reading!

—The Passaic County Book Festival Team
