Passport Pop-Up: Family Blind Date with a Book

Poster for a family-friendly event: 'family blind date with a book' at Ben Brenman Park playground, Aug 8, 9:30–11:00am; tickets live via link in bio.

Join Alexandria Moms Passport for Chapters & Connections, a family-friendly reading experience where every book holds a little mystery and a new adventure waiting to be discovered.

Each ticket includes a wrapped book for every member of the family to select — but the title, cover, and author remain a surprise until the big reveal. Use the clues to choose the adventure that feels right, whether you’re searching for a cozy weekend read, a silly story for big laughs, a bedtime favorite, or a new favorite chapter to enjoy together.

Spend your Saturday morning sipping coffee, enjoying pastries, connecting with other Alexandria families, and celebrating the simple joy of reading together.

Families will enjoy:

📍 Blind story pairing stations for parents and littles

📍 A cozy coffee corner with an iced coffee bar for parents and a chocolate milk “latte” bar for little readers

📍 Morning pastries and sweet treats

📍 A decorate-a-bookmark station for kids to personalize their own keepsake

📍 Time to meet local families and build community

Whether your little one is just beginning their reading journey with black-and-white board books, or your family already has a favorite story tradition, Chapters & Connections is an invitation to slow down, spark imagination, and leave with a new story to treasure.
