Kids who love reading and music will find lots to celebrate at the fourth annual Rox in Sox, a free festival at King School Park in Northeast Portland. This year’s festival is on Saturday, July 30 from 10am to 3pm.

Authors (presented by Green Bean Books: Cathy Camper, Brian Parker, Shannon Joy with Rojo the Llama), musicians (Ozomatli’s OzoKidz, Aaron Nigel Smith, Mr. Ben and Mo Phillips, All Around This World), and other performers will entertain the whole family.

For the second year, the festival takes place at King School Park at 4906 NE 6th Avenue (south of Alberta and east of MLK) in Portland.
