Storybridge LIVE! 2026

Storybridge LIVE: Where books come to life! Get ready for a magical morning! Join us for the 6th year of Storybridge LIVE at Hodgetown! Bring your young readers to meet characters they already know and love and introduce them to some new book friends, too. Each child will receive a souvenir autograph card and have access to characters, face painting, balloon artists, free books, and much more. Come dressed as your favorite book character if you'd like to add to the fun! Storybridge LIVE is our only annual fundraising event. Sponsors of Storybridge LIVE are the true heroes - their contributions support the ongoing efforts of Storybridge to ensure that all children have plenty books at home and develop a lifelong love of reading. Please help us say THANK YOU to all of our sponsors for their contributions to children's literacy in Amarillo!
