Word Up first launched Uptown Kid Lit in 2019 as a one-day festival for the Uptown community. After two years of virtual/hybrid programming in 2020 and 2021, UKL returned in person in 2022 with a focus on comics as part of the three-day Uptown Comics Fest. Each year has gathered a unique and vibrant group of authors, illustrators, educators, publishers, editors, craftspeople, artists, and community organizations—all to support and celebrate our neighborhood’s youngest readers and families. We hope you’ll join us in 2024 for our fourth year of Uptown Kid Lit at Inwood Hill Park!

Spanish interpretation will be provided at the main stage presentations.

This is a free event. Please consider donating so that we can continue creating accessible programming by, with, and for our neighbors.
