If you or your kids are avid readers, you’ll want to mark your calendars for the 15th annual Louisiana Book Festival at the Capitol Park Museum and the Capitol Park grounds this Saturday.
As Best of 225 This Week details, the festival is a celebration of readers, writers and books, with attractions for people interested in any area of literature.
While the panels and discussions will be located mainly within the Capitol Park Museum, tents and booths will be set up outside along Fourth Street. Exhibitors include authors, booksellers, publishers and more. The Young Readers Pavilion invites young children to explore the art of storytelling, while the festival’s Teen HQ is angled more toward young adults.
Booths featuring bestselling and award-winning authors will be set up on Fourth Street, giving you a chance to meet some of the writers behind critically acclaimed works.
