The Kentucky Book Festival is an autumn tradition you don’t want to miss! Now in its 41st year, the festival is a celebration of all things bookish in the Bluegrass, inviting 150 local and national authors to Kentucky to share their work with readers of all ages. Admission is free!

FEATURED AUTHORS: Historian Jon Meacham will speak about his new book on Abraham Lincoln. Geraldine Brooks will discuss her novel, Horse. Barbara Kingsolver will debut a new work of fiction called Demon Copperhead. Kentucky author Silas House will attend, along with Kentucky’s poet laureate, Crystal Wilkinson.

 

VERY KID-FRIENDLY: The festival features a children’s authors tent, and family-friendly activities, like face painting and story times. For added fun in the spirit of Halloween, come dressed as your favorite book character and participate in a costume contest judged by children’s authors! The budding artist in your household can even join in an interactive drawing session with an illustrator. And each child (12 and under) who attends the book festival on Saturday is eligible to receive a voucher for one free book (terms and conditions apply; while supplies last)!
