Home Run for Reading! ELC’s 5th Annual Storybook Street Returns to Sarasota
At Sarasota’s iconic ballpark, tales take flight,
Where books and music pitch pure delight.
Science steps up to join the play,
Come watch imaginations swing away!

The Early Learning Coalition’s FREE, family-friendly, literacy-meets-the-arts extravaganza is back in 2025!
We are thrilled to announce our continued partnership with Ed Smith Stadium as we bring our 5th annual Storybook Street back full circle, returning the event to its original venue. Event will take place inside the stadium concourse.
Designed for children ages birth to seven, Storybook Street is set to dazzle once again as it delivers a unique blend of imagination, creativity and scientific discovery, all in one unforgettable experience. Collaborating with two dozen organizations to bring books to life with preschool pomp and circumstance, the event will feature art, dance, drama, music, movement and more! Picture your child’s excitement as a book-themed spectacle unfolds right in front of their eyes. Books are distributed at each vendor booth, tangible keepsakes of the magic they just witnessed.

Each family will have an opportunity to walk away with 20 books, a swag bag of goodies as well as meaningful, memorable moments to help foster an early love of reading. Children are welcome to dress up as their favorite storybook character.

The whimsical event will feature the many creative talents of:
Sarasota Orchestra
Venice Theatre
CreArte Latino
Gulf Coast Music Therapy
Nailed It DIY Sarasota
The Ringling Museum
Wholehearted Education
Sidewalk Science Center
The Venice Symphony
Sarasota Children’s Museum
All Faiths Food Bank
The Sarasota Players

And more!

For this event, we’re excited to distribute an all-new collection of books, ensuring fresh titles that have not been shared in previous years. An artistic literary adventure awaits your arrival!
