Enchanted Bookshop

May 14 - June 23, 2026

Step inside A Likely Story, a charming little bookstore where by day, the shelves may seem perfectly ordinary, but when the last customer leaves and the lights go out, beloved characters from classic stories magically step right out of their books.

But one night, the characters witness something that definitely isn’t part of the story: a break-in! They want to help Margie, the bookstore owner, but there’s one very important rule: they can’t leave the shop or be seen by human eyes. If they break the rules, they could disappear forever!

Will these literary heroes find a way to save their beloved bookshop without giving away their secret? Filled with imagination, adventure, and plenty of storybook surprises, The Enchanted Bookshop celebrates courage, friendship, and the magic that happens when our favorite stories come to life!
