The Louisiana Book Festival is going to be held at downtown Baton Rouge on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 9 am to 5 pm.
More than 225 authors and panelists are expected to participate in this major event.
The festival is free and open to the public and takes place at the State Library of Louisiana, the Louisiana State Museum, the Louisiana State Capitol and its grounds.
More than 75 book-related organizations will have booths in the gardens between the State Capitol and the State Library. Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy exhibitions, demonstrations and performances.
Visitors will also get a chance to buy books penned by the festival’s authors and have them sign their works at the Barnes and Noble bookselling and signing tent.
In 2009, the Louisiana Book Festival had more than 25,500 visitors, injecting nearly $2 million into the local economy. The festival was not held in 2010 due to state budget cuts.
