Bring Your Festival to Life in a Custom Coloring Book

Fun for kids, meaningful for families, and easy for organizers. Color the Festival creates beautiful keepsakes inspired by your unique event.

What It Is & Why It Works

Color the Festival is a custom-made coloring book for your event. Each page is hand-drawn to highlight what makes your festival unique. From parades and mascots to vendors and art. It’s a simple, joyful souvenir for families and a beautiful way to celebrate community.

  • Every book is hand-illustrated by a local artist who takes time to learn about your festival’s unique charm. From your mascots to your music lineup.

  • Give families something they can collect, take home, color together, and remember long after the festival is over. It’s more than a souvenir, it’s a memory.

  • Whether you're supporting a local cause or covering event costs, these books are an easy, low-cost way to generate revenue or collect donations.

  • Distribute them at welcome tents, use them in swag bags, or offer them at vendor booths. They’re eye-catching, social-media-worthy, and full of local flair.

See it in Action: Strawberry Festival Edition

“We created 20 pages for Troy’s annual Strawberry Festival. Featuring local businesses window displays, berry fun designs, and a nod to past logos. It was a hit with families and helped raise funds for the local library.”
— Brianna Booker, Creator of Color the Festival

The Troy edition of Color the Festival was developed in partnership with the Troy Chamber of Commerce as a fresh, family-friendly offering for their beloved annual event. The book included hand-drawn illustrations inspired by downtown storefronts, strawberry-themed activities, and even a few Easter eggs for longtime attendees, like a tribute to many past festival logos and iconic moments.

The project was designed, printed, and distributed locally. A portion of every sale was donated to the Troy-Miami County Public Library, turning a fun souvenir into a small but meaningful community fundraiser. The coloring books received overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents, kids, and vendors alike.

1. Share Your Story

Timeline: 3–5 days
We start with a short discovery meeting where I’ll learn about what makes your festival unique. This is where the magic begins: we’ll brainstorm what to include, how many pages you want, and any extras you’d like (such as puzzles or sponsor features).

The more you share, the more personalized the book becomes.

2. I Design the Book

Timeline: ~2 weeks for 20 pages
Once we’ve agreed on the creative direction, I’ll get to work hand-illustrating your custom pages. You’ll receive sketch previews partway through and final artwork to review once complete. If revisions are needed, allow an additional 5–7 days for edits depending on complexity.

Books can be fully illustrated or include bonus activities like mazes, word searches, or scavenger hunts.

3. Print & Ship

Timeline: 3–4 weeks
For local festivals, I’ll take care of everything — from printing to quality checks to delivery. It’s all included in the per-book price, with no extra hassle on your end.

For festivals outside my region, I offer two options:

  • Printed & Shipped: I’ll print your books and ship them directly to you.

  • Print-Ready Files: I can provide formatted files if you'd prefer to print locally or manage distribution yourself.

We’ll work together to find the best fit for your timeline, location, and budget — without compromising quality or your vision.

4. Share the Joy!

Timeline: Your event date
Once books are in hand, you decide how to share them:

  • Sell them at a booth to raise funds

  • Add them to VIP swag bags

  • Offer them as free giveaways to families

  • Host a coloring contest to drive engagement

Either way, your festival now has something kids will love, parents will appreciate, and the community will remember.

Pricing or Custom Quote

Each Color the Festival book is uniquely tailored to your event, from page count to printing needs. Pricing varies based on the project.

Whether you’re looking for design-only files or full-service printing and delivery, I’ll work with your budget to make it easy.

Most full projects start around $400, with printing options available for both local and out-of-town events.
