The Akada Children’s Book Festival (ACBF) is a showcase of children's books written by African authors or books from around the world written for a diverse audience of children. ACBF is the first and the largest Nigerian book festival specifically for children. The gathering was held for the first time in 2019 and it attracted over 1,400 attendees.

ACBF held on Saturday October 29, 2022 at the UpBeat Centre, 11 Admiralty Road, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
The theme for ACBF 2022 was Together Again.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the second and third editions (2020 and 2021) of the festival were held online attracting more than 1,600 participants each from across Nigeria and from over 23 countries around the world. Attendees joined the festival from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ghana, Madagascar, United Kingdom, United States of America, Rwanda, Estonia, Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya, France, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Qatar, Libya, Norway, the Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea and Zambia.
