Where little dreamers become big readers 📖✨
Sunday, November 22, 2026 | Mangalore
The Mangalore Children's Literature Fest is a joyful one-day celebration of reading, storytelling, and imagination for kids of all ages. Organized by The Yenepoya School in partnership with Hakuna Matata, the festival brings together authors, illustrators, puppeteers, and young readers for a day full of wonder.
We believe every child deserves to fall in love with books early. Blending The Yenepoya School's commitment to holistic education with Hakuna Matata's spirit of activities, stories, songs, and loads of fun, we've created a fest designed entirely around curious young minds.
From toddlers to teens, there's a reading adventure waiting for every child.
Picture book read-alouds, puppet shows, and sing-along story circles.
Comic-making workshops, mystery-writing games, and author meet-and-greets.
Young author panels, poetry slams, and creative writing masterclasses.
