The Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Sarasota County’s FREE, family-friendly, literacy-meets-the-arts extravaganza is back in 2025! The ELC team is thrilled to announce their continued partnership with Ed Smith Stadium as they bring their 5th annual Storybook Street back full circle, returning the event to its original venue. 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 nearly two dozen organizations to bring books to life with preschool pomp and circumstance, the event will feature art, dance, drama, music, movement, scientific discovery 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. No registration necessary. Just show up!
