The second annual Grown-Up Book Fair is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 22, in Watertown, giving adult readers a Scholastic-style book fair experience at The Strand, 136 Franklin Street. The event is planned for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The fair is presented by HarmoNNY Performing Arts Community, Spoken Word of NNY, The NEST and Neighbors of Watertown. It is designed for adult readers and book lovers, with the organizers bringing the familiar school book-fair format to an adult audience.
The first fair was held at The Strand in early November 2025. Organizers said that event grew from about a dozen vendors to nearly 50, including local authors, and drew a line outside before opening.
People seeking information about admission, vendor registration or the 2026 venue can contact HarmoNNY at 315-628-0110 or contact@harmonny.org.
