New BPRW Event: Throwback! Grown-Up Book Fair April 5

Apr 5, 2025, 1:30 to 8 PM

Join BPRW for our spring fundraiser, Throwback! A Grown-Up Book Fair at the ONE Community Center in Burlington. Independent bookseller Phoenix Books is bringing the nostalgia of your favorite school book fair, with both current and "vintage" great reads and gifts for kids and adults.

Immerse yourself in a full throwback experience, including:
• Retro Theme Photo Booth
• Bar featuring Adult Capri Suns + a literary-style cocktail/mocktail or two as well
• Grab and go food (think Adult Lunchables!)
• Video wall with all your favorites from the heyday of MTV (remember videos?) and classic sitcoms too
• Competitive Mad Libs, UNO and old school puzzle tables
…and *much more*. More details are being announced, so follow and watch our socials on Facebook and Instagram!

Donate $10 or more to receive a rad Throwback tote bag with some bonus swag to remind you of super cool childhood treats and treasures.

Your ticket supports the programs and services of Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront, and a portion of proceeds from all tickets and tote bags will also benefit our friends at the Fletcher Free Library!

April 5th: Afternoon session 1:30pm-4:30pm, families welcome, 21+ to drink
Evening session, 5:00pm-8pm, 18+ to enter, 21+ to drink
